Hello, Everyone!
My name is Aileen and I am from NC. I used to come out here quite a bit until I had some problems with the computer (the site would freeze every time I logged on) so I haven't been out in a looong time. I decided to create a completely new account because I'm starting completely over.
I'm 43 and 5'7". I currently weigh 242 and my goal weight is 140. My goal is to reach my goal weight by the end of 2009. I think if I approach it in the form of mini-goals, I can do it.
I do and do and do for everyone else from my bosses to my husband to my kids to the stray cats living in the woods behind my house and now it is time for me to do for me. My two oldest kids are grown and married and my daughter is going to be 15 this month. My husband travels a lot for his job, so why not just jump in and do something special for myself by giving me the gift of time, attention, and health?
I'm commiting to myself to take it one day at a time and not look for instant gratification. I will lose weight; I will get healthy; I will reach my goals - one day at a time.
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you and cheering you on!
Aileen
