Creating a new me!

I want to change a lifetime of bad habits! I can't even tell u how many diets, programs, pills or fads I have tried to lose weight! I can remember at the age of 6 my pediatrician talking to me and my mom about dieting! So this has gone on for a long time! The difference now? How can I lose weight now ? Before I would lose weight and then get off the diet gain it all back and then some!! Well August 1st was the turning point in my life! I finally decided to change my life!! I have to change my way of thinking my way of doing things to have a better life!! I will not go on living this way! I have to exercise everyday! I have to eat the right foods! I have to allow myself to eat my favorite foods in small portions! I cant have them everyday! I have to eat all my calories and not skip meals to keep my metabolism going! This won't be an easy journey but i can and will get there! I may never wear a bikini but I will be able to walk up a flight of stairs without feeling like i want to pass out! I will do this because the Lord will give me strength and spark people will give me encouragement!! Thanks to all!! A special thanks to my bff for introducing me to spark people! Jan1031 is the best friend i could ever have and a special gift from the Lord! God please bless all who read this!
