Lose It

I have tried to lose weight many times before. So, why does this time feel so different ?
The main reason is my motivation. In the past I thought that if I lost the weight that other people would like me better . Instant happiness in a smaller size jeans. (NOT)

Those other people (whoever the heck they are) don't mean a thing to me this time. Trying to please them is the last thing on my mind. Most of them aren't worth the effort anyway.
The more I observe the way people treat each other the better I like myself. I don't claim to be perfect. In fact I don't want to be perfect. My goal for each day is to be myself, faults and all.

Every morning I face a new day, and the same old decision. Will I chose my food wisely and be active, or stuff my face and sit around on my butt. Most days that choice is a no brainer.
Other days it is a real challenge to even get out of bed much less exercise.

That's when my Lose It friends come into the picture. It is very motivational to see other people who are fighting with the same struggle as I am. This blog is dedicated to all those incredible folks that help keep me on my feet and off my butt. Thank you all !!!
