Hi!

I'm happy to be here!!

I've been reading a certain thread for some time now, went through over two years of it...so today I decided to join this site and start posting. I'm beginning a new exercise program tomorrow and am thinking the support here will be a good thing for me!

I'm 43, and have been a single parent now for 14 years or so. Been pouring my all into my two daughters but soon, very soon, my daughters will start stepping out on their own more and my role in their lives will diminish. A natural progression of things. So, I'm kind of on a search lately for myself and my purpose outside of my kids. One thing I need to do is to take better care of myself, so I am doing this new exercise program and have been attempting, off and on, to imporove my eating habits as well. That is probably the hardest part...I am a sugar addict, especially when I am feeling emotional!! But, my girls and I are taking this journey together, which I think is awesome!! We've all been eating better - though not perfectly - and they will be joining me in exercise as well. Good bonding, yes?!

I hope to get to know some of you, and for some of you to get to know me!

So, say hi or ask me any questions you might like!!

Welcome , Glad to have you join us. How wonderful that you and your daughters can do this together! My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join. You might check out the 40 Somthing chat for a start
