WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I am my own worst enemy. If I mess up a little, I feel like I have failed and I just give up. Perfectionism kicks my tail everytime.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I refuse to give up. My only other option is to be a fat a** the rest of my life and I refuse to accept that. I want to be sexy for my husband. He says I already am, so maybe I just want to be sexy for me.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I am in my car by myself, I crank up AC/DC as loud as I can and shake the windows of my minivan! LOL! I'm an 80's girl at heart.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I am an emotional eater and I have a hard time getting myself in gear to exercise.Plus I tend to eat when I am bored. I think if I could exercise more and curb the eating I would be doing really good. Sometimes I just feel like I don't have the willpower, but it's just mind over matter.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I have cut out alot of sweets from my diet and I am trying to eat more fruits and veggies. Plus I really hate the way I look and I really want to be able to keep up with my kids. I don't want them to be embarassed of me. Plus, this time I am going to do it for me because I deserve it and I need to start focusing on me. I just know that I can do it if I can just be patient and take it day to day.
