I thought id say a quick hi.Im 24 live in dublin ireland.
Woke up this morning & for some reason it hit me i have to get serious about this weight loss.I love every other part my life so i just need do this.
You know, I've always found that we can be blasted from every direction with signs that we need to shape up and get healthy, and ignore it and continue living in denial, that is.....until that one fateful morning when we wake up and it has finally hit us square in the face, and then it really happens.
Welcome and congrats on the first step of determination - I think we all know how you feel. None of us became overweight overnight but it takes a long time to finally just decide that this is it, the time we do something about it. We're glad that you decided to do it with us.
I also have to say I was happy to see you're in Ireland - one of my most favorite places! I was a buyer for a store here forever (recently laid off because of the national economy & post-Katrina impacts on business & tourism) and I used to go to Waterford every year to buy crystal and always flew in and out of Dublin. What fun we had and everyone was so friendly and welcoming - I will always have such wonderful memories (and funny stories) of my times there and the friends I made (some even coming to New Orleans for visits)!
So join in the fun as well as the support and inspiration I have found in the few weeks I've been here - it's so nice to know that we don't have to do this alone!
