Although I have a very long way to go before I reach goal - I am seeing changes in my body after only 12#s off - and those small changes gives me confidence - I'm getting back the "self" that knows my capabilities and can stand should-to-shoulder with anyone! When I lost the weight back in 2001 I clearly remember how very confident I was then. I was going to take art classes, learn to sing and learn a language. That has only been 8 years - I'm still the same person - so why does the addition weight weigh down that confidence? People say "chubby" people are the same as thin people - no, they are not! I remember that woman - I will be that woman again! One baby step at a time - each pound off is one more step - I'm so happy to be on this journey! Watching me come out of this shell! Come along with me my friends!
