I used to be in shape, but I have never been truly happy with my body. I want to lose the fat, keep my curves, and tone my body so I can finally feel good wearing clingy clothes. I've always gone to great lengths to cover up and I don't want to feel the need to anymore. I want to look in the mirror and finally love the reflection. I want my man to not be able to keep his hands off of me.
I want, I want, I want. Getting it is the hard part and I am going to start slowly. I have many emotional hurdles to clear and I usually faceplant myself right into one. If I start slowly with simple excercises and taking care to eat properly, I will keep at it and get where I want to be. Time isn't as important to me as doing this the right way is.

Since my last (first) post, a lot of things have changed with me. Unfortunately I am still overweight and miserable about it, I'm not nearly as active as I want to be, and this illness is still kicking my ass.
Last month my doctor decided to take control of my psychiatric meds as I was...
I am honoured that you find encouragement from my words (the jury is still out on the wisdom part) and am blessed to have met you. I look forward to you surpassing your own expectations & remember: “The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval.”
Lady, you will never be alone as long as you are here on BB.com and as long as you allow me to be your friend. I live to see people smile and be happy with themselves and their lives, and if there is anything that I can do, even if it is just to listen to you, all you have to do is ask. Remember what Carl Bard said: "Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
I fought depression and had (have) severe anxiety attacks and feel for what you are dealing with. I like what " Norman Vincent Peale wrote: People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."
Believe in yourself as it is not more than you can handle. It is merely more than you thought you could.
