I started this journey in February 2012 after losing a dear friend to congestive heart failure the previous September.
My mantra was "nothing tastes as good, as being skinny feels". My goal was to lose weight and have abdominoplasty surgery. I lost 100 lbs between February 2012 and March 2013 and achieved my dream of having all the ugly, loose skin removed.
If I only knew then, what I know now! I wish someone had made me wait and maintain my weight for a year! Suffice it to say, it's been a journey of up and down ... and mostly ups in the weight department.
I have half-heartedly tried over the last couple of years to lose the weight .... I know I can do it, I have the tools to do it ... I just need to get my mojo back.
Part of my initial mojo was blogging, praying and being diligent.
I'm coming back to basics .... starting this blog, using a book called Made to Crave and journaling my food for accountability.
PLUS ... I have some like minded ladies walking the journey with me.
I want to say "wish me luck" ... but I know luck has nothing to do with it ... it's hard work and requires a paradigm shift!!
Day 1 ....
