My turning point was my birthday this year. I woke up and took a long hard look in the mirror and really hated what I saw and how I felt. I made a decision to do a life makeover. Lots of issues in my life needed fixing and I decided to make this year the one to fix them. I was tired of dressing to hide my stomach, tired of not being taken seriously at work, tired of being sick, over stressed etc. You get the idea.

I also decided to set a longer term goal in terms of weight. When I graduated high school I weighed 235#. That was 20 years ago. I want to go to the 20 year reunion 100# less than when I graduated.

As an adult I have been as low as 138 and as high as 235. I have a small frame under all this weight and I would like to see it again!

One day at a time..... one # at a time... 145 this morning, about 10# to go.

Take care all.
