I'm always shocked to look in the mirror or see a photo of myself. I'm so much skinnier and healthy in my inner vision of myself. This year is about letting the person I see in my mind out of the layers of fat that are hiding me.
This morning I summoned my courage to step on the scales after an unrestrained, out of control holiday season. What I saw were three numbers I never expected to be associated with myself. The leading number was NOT A ONE!
Maybe I was waiting for that number to do something, but I think its been in my mind that it was long past time to shed these unwelcome pounds. My children are young and active and I'm an older mommy. I need to live a long time. I need to be able to participate in the fun activities they enjoy.
It's time. Today is my start. Wish me luck, y'all!
