I just woke up one day. I mean really woke up!

It dawned on me how OUT OF CONTROL I'd allowed myself to be! I couldn't believe it. I still can't. I've never been this overweight! If you would've asked me 10 years ago if I thought I'd ever let myself get to 222 pounds I would've laughed in your face.

But here I am! The day I woke up I was a whopping 255! I looked awful and felt awful. I have 2 beautiful young kids! (3 and 1 yr old). I want to play with them. I want to swim, run, dance and not be confined to the largest T-Shirt I can find and the shame of my LACK of control.

That's what happened. I can't even remember the "event" that slapped me so hard. May be the "event" was allowing myself to see how I "truly" looked in the mirror. ....and it was nothing close to pretty!
