Have been on here for years and would do good with the weight loss but then each time something in my life would pop up and poof I swear the "junk food fairy" came to town. This horrid person had me under their spell and each time it would take months to break it. The last time that this witch came to visit I took the time to self reflect. So as a result it is no longer about the weight it is about me feeling great, healthy. It is not about those 5 lbs or ever how many it may be it is about moving and eating the best that I can while realizing that I am only human and I will from time to time make the mistakes but this time I know that it is only a slip and I WILL make it! This for me is a long journey but my mamma always told me that good things come to those that wait, so here I am taking things slow and steady waiting for my reward of health. Right now I would like to give and get support from those who realize that we are not perfect but we are here to get things accomplished. So for now I am not measuring my success in lbs but how my cloths fit, I am going to do this for about a month and then who knows maybe use the lbs as a way to measure my success, all I know that it feels sssooo good when things no longer fit they are too big or when you can get into a smaller size underwear. Well I have rambled on long enough but if anyone out there is game for support and friendship I am as well.

Welcome back, gigglez!

Sounds like that time of reflection really paid off - you certainly have your priorities in order, opting for a realistic approach to a healthier and happier you, measuring success by what is important for you - GOOD FOR YOU!

You and your mama are also right about another thing - there are only a few things better (not mentioning them since this is a family forum) than clothes fitting that didn't before and clothes not fitting 'cause they're too big - here's to that happening!

So welcome - glad to have you back with us - you're in the right place - jump right back in by inspiring and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Thanks everyone for the words of support! Today is a new day of my journey! Looking forward to what all this day brings, aside from snow and cold that is! Thinking that it is way too cold out today, makes me rethink the plans that I have made for today. On second thought I know that I must follow through on my plans after all they do include meeting at my friends out for a workout.

Hi all,

Gigglez - thanks so much for your honest post! I have some bad fairies that come to town often myself! I am going to defeat them this year too! We are all behind you!

I am new to 3FC as a member although I have used some of the tools sometimes before! Looking forward to a thinner New Year! Having some trouble figuring out how everything works computer-wise. This is my first post so I will see how it goes! Best wishes to all for a great New Year!
