new girl on the block



  • just wanted to say hi! ive been around reading and soaking in all of the helpfull advice.. i'm 33 and have been overweight all thru my late twentys and thirtys.. i have 90lbs to lose.. and have procrastinated myself to death.. with the " i'll do it tomorrow" crap!
    until this weekend.. i think i had a wake up call... a neighbor down the way from me had a heartattack.. besides feeling sad for his family.. i felt a great deal of anxiety about my lifestyle and the things i havent done to keep myself healthy.. i couldnt sleep all that night...

    now.. im looking at myself thinking.. how can i start to live better.. i have highblood pressure.. im over weight.. and im depressed about all of the above..
    seems like every morning i start out motivated.. and by mid day.. im eating crap that i shouldnt..

    today im going to make a new start.. and i hope with support from others in my situation.. i can finally make it!
