I wasn't always overweight.  I was very active as a child and teenager, and even got involved in weight training at the campus gym as a young adult.  But, I never practiced long-term good eating habits, and have always used food as a way to deal with stress. Now, 10 years and 2 children later, I am considerably overweight for my small frame. While I keep trying to eat right, control my food portions, and make good choices, there has always been one aspect missing:  accountability.  Being accountable to myself hasn't been motivating enough.  I can always rationalize my bad choices so much easier when it is just myself I am reporting to.  That is why I have created this website.  It gives me the level of accountability and motivation I need to reach my goals.

I find the easiest way to monitor my food intake is a food journal, and using the Weight Watchers 123 Success program.  I will be publishing my food journal daily, my weight weekly, and my measurements monthly.  As I become more fit, I will add my workout and exercise plan.  I am not only focusing on the physical, but successful weight loss and successful living incorporate the spiritual and mental as well.  There are things in my life that I am working on in those areas as well.  While I will not be focusing on those things on this site as much, this site is a reflection of who I am in those areas, from my selection of the graphics I have used on this site (Thank you 7Rings Studios!), to scripture and poetry and other items I will be adding later.

Enjoy your visit, thank you for your support, and If I can inspire anyone else, I am truly grateful.  May we all reach for our greatest potential together.
