Introduction Text My name is Debbie, and I'm 53 years old. I used to be called Little Debbie, but I don't feel like the name suits me right now. Despite what other people have said in the past, I have never felt like I was skinny. I knew I was healthy, but I never actually felt skinny. Oh how I wish I was back there again. Back in October of 2008 I was searching for a job. I went in for an interview at a place and absolutely fell in love with it. The problem was, that I had to quit smoking in order to work there. Well I did good on putting the cigarettes down. I'm not going to say it was easy, because it wasn't... at all. But, because of quitting, I started eating poorly and even waking up in the middle of the night and eating (which used to be fixed by smoking cigarettes). When it comes down to it, I got rid of one bad habit to gain another. Stress didn't help with the situation either. I get bored... I eat, I feel lonely... I eat, someone says something negative, and I eat. It is a bunch of bad habits that I am going to be working hard to conquer. I have set my fast break goals for Sparkpeople and so far, I am doing really well with following the plan. I started off with throwing a lot of my junk food away and actually reading nutrition labels. I never even thought about looking at them before. I have also started walking ON PURPOSE around the property and am drinking lots of water during the day. I am trying different things to cope with my waking up and eating in the middle of the night and they have helped some, but I can't keep myself from getting out of bed to get something. So, I have started making changes and I'm sure there will be many more to follow in the months to come.

To weigh 125 pounds and fit into my old pair of jeans.

I pay attention to what I am eating and also walk more often.

My name is Debbie, thats all you need to know.
