Hello..


Hi...so happy to be here. I've been up and down with weight my whole life. Several years ago I lost over 40 pounds with W.W. only to put all of it back on. I'm an emotional eater for sure but mostly in boredom and having social anxiety doesn't help. Right now I really need to work on taking around 50 plus pounds off for health and just to feel better.

Hi...so happy to be here. I've been up and down with weight my whole life. Several years ago I lost over 40 pounds with W.W. only to put all of it back on. I'm an emotional eater for sure but mostly in boredom and having social anxiety doesn't help. Right now I really need to work on taking around 50 plus pounds off for health and just to feel better.

I am 54, married, work full time and have one child. I like to read, garden, walk, love animals, and always enjoy a good laugh or smile.

Would so love to meet and make some friends through SparkPeople and get back on track to better health, accountability, and just to enjoy life!

    “When was the last time you woke up and realized that today could be the best day of your life? Participate in your dreams today.
    There are unlimited opportunities available with this new day. Take action on those wonderful dreams you've had in your mind for so long.
    Remember, success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you HAVE, it’s something you DO.”

    Believe in your strength and your truth.

    Roses are red, yoga is great,
    Who needs a Valentine when I can bench my own weight?
    Violets are blue, and peanut butter is heaven,
    I'll save you a kiss after rep number seven.
    Bananas are yellow, and yogurt is Greek,
    Squats are gonna be the only thing to make my knees weak.
    Oatmeal is perfect, and veggies are divine,
    The dream to be strong is what I'm making mine!

    “You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away.
    It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.”

    I hope February is off to a healthy start for you, Spark friend! Remember to be your own Valentine! Keep your self talk positive, and love yourself for who you are now, not ten or however many pounds from now. You're worth it!
    Hugs,

    “You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. It's possible to treat yourself with outrageous kindness beginning today.
    Compulsive eating is only the symptom; believing that you are not worth your own love is the problem.
    Go for the love. You will never be sorry.”

    "If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick the trait of persistence. Determination.
    The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying. "Here comes number seventy-one!"
