my slow metabolism and not enough exercise
(because I sit at a desk and computer all day)

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL:
I measure success differently these days ---- eating healthy, exercising and drinking water is a successful day for me, the scale and my size have to be secondary - sometimes you just have to make the best of what you have and accept what you cannot change! :-)

I am a Christian, Jesus is Lord of my life!
My walk with Jesus is the most important walking I do!
I have loved getting to know people at 3fatchicks,
