What is different this time in your weight loss efforts: This time I feel that I really can do it. I just have to believe in myself, I have done it in the past. Now I am looking to the future and to a healthier me. I am trying to avoid diabetes, it is rampant in my family. I am also a role model to my girls and I don't want them to struggle with their weight. I want healthy choices to come naturally to them.
Anything else you want to share with us? I am afraid of failure, I always have been, this time i'm not evening going to consider what if I don't make my goal, because I condemn myself thinking that way, I have also posted my weight, which forces me to stay on track. I want to see my tracker moving and I want everyone else to see it move.
