When I Started:
Apr, 2008
How I Started:
5 months after having my first child, I looked in the mirror and really looked at myself. I asked myself how did I let my body get to this point. After alot of self contempt, I decided to stop eating for convenience and start eating for lifetime health. Just a year and a half ago I was 40lbs lighter and wearing a size 8. Now I was 40lbs heavier and wearing a 14. I had to get my mind right - FOCUSED - and get my body together.
Why I Love It:
I like working out because it is definitely a stress reliever. Working out also gives me some "Me" time, that allows me to clear my mind.
How I Stay Motivated:
So far . . .I stay motivated by looking in the mirror. The physical person I currently see in the mirror "isnt who I see in my mind". So anytime I dont feel like eating right or working out . . .I grab a looking-glass.

After relocating, starting the new job, and re-adjusting I definitely used the TV, internet and food to comfort my maladjustment. I dont want to suffer the way i did last summer being a big girl . . omg I was a big girl in the Summer of 2008!!! Well I know if I get started now, when June...
You know. Weekends are always bad for diets. Especially when visiting family. He he, but don't worry about it. Be glad you enjoyed it and tried to do well. Effort does count for something. ;-)
