  • Time Will Tell...

    Sunday, February 8, 2009 | A Positive story

    I am still waiting for that 3 month marker that tells me that I've actually done this. What I'm saying is, the longest I've ever quit is 3 months exactly,a nd then something always came up and I gave in. The 3 month mark will be 2/23. So, as of right now, I do feel an accomplishment, but after 2/23 I will feel even more of an accomplishment. I am extremely psycholigical and analytical...

    Tuesday, September 2, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She

    her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will

    Saturday, December 6, 2008 | An Inspiring story

I actually went to a friend's party last night and was not tempted to smoke, or drink, or overeat! However, I have been a little sick lately, and those things don't sound so good when you're sick. You know? Anyway, I go to Weight Watchers in a little while and will let ...

  • 50 Pounds!

    Sunday, November 30, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    I think I've been doing this wrong. I've been adding comments to my own journal entry. I'm really proud of myself. Anyway, tomorrow begins my 50 pound weight loss until the end of May. I won't recognize myself, and I will be hot with a capital "H". Any encouragement on my beginning would be appreciated!

    Tuesday, December 30, 2008 | A Positive story

    OK, so I am getting tired of eating like crap! It hasn't been that bad, really, but I just am not monitoring what goes in my mouth. I have candy on my coffee table that I don't even touch. You know why? Because I CAN touch it and have it if I want to...it's when I CAN'T have it that I want it. It's soooo psychological! Anyway, getting to the point where I'm tired of "...
