    • About Me

      ok, so I am changing this. What do I want to say about me? Let me think...... I am a mother, and a wife, I am sure I am not the best at being either but I do try, and I put my whole heart and soul into what I am trying to accomplish or care for. My kids are both in school, so I do have a little me time now. I guess I am getting to know who I am again, well actually maybe for the 1st time in my life. I am a private person to a point, but if I open up to you it is all the way, no hiding or trying to make myself seem like I am someone that I really am not! I like details about everything. My sister says I read to much into things, she is probably right. (hhmmm.. wonder what she means by that?) :) I love animals. I wear my heart on my sleeve. My husband is my complete opposite. Our marriage has seen better days, but it also has seen worse. I love him, and he loves me, but we need to BOTH love ourselves. Struggled with my weight for practically all my life, and now I am doing something about it. I feel so much better both physically and emotionally. Doesn't fix all my problems in life, but makes me feel better as a person. I am difficult, and all my emotions are strong, if I don't like you, I REALLY don't like you. If I love you, I LOVE you with all I have. I am more a lover than a fighter, but thats not always the case. I want to make friends on here. I need more friends in my life. I am a loner for the most part, and I need people! I have always been drawn to senior citizens, that is what I grew up around, and I just love em. I can talk to them like I've known em forever. Anything else just send me a message.

    • Interests

      I love my children, love to watch their lil personalities form. We are lake people, no oceans here where we are! Love the water. It relaxes me. I am open minded, don't try to judge people, I will try to put myself in their shoes. LOVE shoes! Love to go out and eat, just don't eat as much now. I have even started to like sweating! i love to exercise now, It is a great emotional boost, to start off my day. Love to color with my kids. Sociology makes me think, just as psychology does, but I love the social part of soc. it shows how people react, and handle others. Love love songs, sappy music. I LOVE all music. When I was a child that was all we had songs, and music, now I have the songs, and the memories that come with them old songs. I want to know how to keep this weight off, I DO NOT WANT TO GAIN IT BACK! NO WAY!!! Anybody got any suggestions message me. :)

      From bebita1971 July 19

      Thank you, I am slowly trying to figure things out, I really hope that my H will stop, I am praying with all my heart for the sake of our marriage & our two beautiful kids. I love this man & I do not want to loose him for this reason. I know distance has lots to do with it, I hope he will find a job closer to us & maybe he will not have the need to run & blow away money on weekends. He says it's becasue it's his relaxation & because he misses us too much, to kill the stress but it's only more stress to get a CC bill for $5,800 cash advace!!!Thank you for your words of support.

    • Close Obesity

      I have been overweight practicaly all my life. I am an emotional eater at times, but I had to turn that around. I made a lifestyle change, I didn't just go on a diet. I AM NOT DIETING! Highest weight was around 290. When I went to the Dr. I was at 261. I am now around 190. Went from a 22/24 (snug fit) to a 12!! (my goal was sz. 14 @ 1st) I want to lose a total of 100 LBS. I'm over 1/2 way there. About 25 more to go.
