Let me finally indroduce myself please
Hi!
As you can all see, I am NOT new to this site. I've actually been lurking around on and off for a few years. After a lot of thought and reflection, I think I'm finally really ready to let myself be known and join in with all of you wonderful people, if you will have me.
On the first day of January, I officially began this journey again and have been on this site every single day. The reason I haven't posted much, or introduced myself is because I had to prove to myself that I was ready and that this was not one of those new years resolutions that never come to be. But after over a month of continued effort and improvement in eating and exercise, I know in my heart that I am ready and I am going to do it this time.
In 1998 I lost about 60 pounds and stopped 40 pounds shy of my goal (I'm still not sure why I stopped when I should have kept going). I kept that weight off for about 3 years, then my life took a turn for the worse (bad relationship and illness) and I gained it all back, plus another 20 pounds. Over the last year I have slowly lost about 18 pounds, and over the last month I have lost about 7 more.
I know that I am really ready and I feel like this is a wonderful place to give and receive support and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you. I admire many of you so much already, and getting to know you and communicate with you will be a priviledge.
