I have always been on the fluffy side of life

so it is day three of this grand adventure.....all I can say is that food taste really really good when you are hungry......and to tell you the truth , we can even imagine what real hunger is....so just keep on keepin on and I can feel those fat cells melting away...

My story....heck where can I start....
I have always been a chunky , girl., I think in all started in 5th grade , and then I fell in love ..hehehehee....I was a size 20 Plus for my sisters wedding and that is when I met John. silly huh....I was only 15 ...but that is when the fad diets started....lunch was a Fresca and two raw Ole tyme hot dogs from the deli...every day.....and that isnt even a nutrisous meal...but it did the trick. I got down to a size 12...didnt stay there too long... a few years...but then got pregnant with my first born.....been chunky since...well lets say " Ive been UP.....Ive been down.
The most weight I have lost is when I was getting ready for my daughters wedding...Mother of the Bride and all....believe me ....I got down to a size 10/12 and that was amazing.....then life stuff happened and was not really watching what I was eating...and gained it all back again....I guess what I am saying is , its not the big losses that we can hold onto...but what I have learned on the journey.....food that is good for you can also taste good...and I know what I need to do and how to do it ...but I need to believe in myself to get back to where I want to be....and at 51 I just want to feel good , and I want to be able to tie my shoes without lossing my breath , and I want to be able to keep up with the grandkids when we play outside or go for a walk, and I just want to feel good about me. I can do it, I did it before and I can do it again......I am worth it.
Oh .... gotta go check the stove....cooking pork in tomatoes , and a baked potato and peas and carrots...with a cold glass of milk....must remember to eat slow.
Love you when I have good thoughts on my mind....PEACE
