The Time Is NOW!
I joined dailystrength many years ago while going through divorce. It was barnone, the hardest time of my life. But the silver lining was that I lost 65lbs & through hard work, I learned to love myself. Now, 8ish years later, I've gained back every bit of that weight. Though in the last few months, I've lost 15lbs again, I'm now at the point where I know I need to DO this! I NEED to feel better both physically & emotionally as well as mentally! I NEED to do this for myself so that I'll have more years to enjoy with my girls! I just plain ol' NEED to do this!
My short term goal is to lose 40lbs by the end of May! I'm jounalling this in order to hold myselfaccountable. I attend TOPS meetings on Tuesday nights & I'll continue to attend as another means of being accountable. My biggest obstacle (in my mind) is my diet Pepsi addiction. Ugh!! Why can't water taste like diet Pepsi?? I can easily drink 4lts per day. Yep.. My name is Pam & I'm an addict.. Lol
I will journal every day & I'll be 100% honest with myself & anyone who reads these posts. Maybe I'll even turn out to be an inspiration for others.
Alright then! Here's to the next 3(+) months!!

Good for you on the wt loss and your plan of action. Pam you have great motivation and you can do this.
I love Diet Pepsi too! I don\'t think I could ever give that up. I lost a lot of weight during my divorce too and have since gained it back. I don\'t weight myself so I don\'t know. I need some motivation myself. I certainly don\'t want to EVER do the divorce diet again! Good luck.
I don\'t ever want to do that diet again either! But I wouldn\'t go back & change anything now
Thank you guys for the encouragement!
