Default Keeping the can do spirit!

First let me introduce myself, since I've put off doing that long enough. I'm 45, mother of 3, married 25 years, have yo-yo'd with my weight my whole life and work serving food at a school.
I love being able to come here and read up on so many success stories and even the struggles. I need the encouragement often and find so many of you inspiring!
I'm following a carb cycle type of program and so far I've lost 16 lbs. I wake up each day saying I'm worth it and find that if I take small steps in this healthier direction I can do anything!
I'm still learning my way around the site but I'd love to hear from anyone. We can do this together! We are awesome!

I pray and ask God for strength and blessing. Self-talk really works. Close your eyes and say, "Let me see my true self. Let me do all I am capable of. Let me be the person I've always wanted to be." You can adjust the wording to suit yourself! When you feel positive, keep buffing yourself up. "I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do. This time, I'm not stopping until the end!"
