get to like who I am

It has been almost a year since I started Spark. I have not reached my goal fell short by 20 pounds. In that years time I have changed my way of eating to a more healthier way. DD and her family moved in and we have improved their eating habits. By doing this I have been able to lower my cholesterol. I am walking more. And I have learned to eat healthier snacks.

I guess I am at a place in my life that can finally say I like who I am. I do not like my weight but I know I am changing that even if it is taking me longer than I have hoped.
I also have excepted the fact that I will have to work harder as I take many meds that I take have the side effect of weight gain.
