Weight Loss Journey

So the reality is I have a very long journey ahead of myself. I'm trying to get through this the best way I can. Why is food such an addiction? Why is it when I'm happy, sad, lonely or bored i want to indulge in something. Whoever said dieting was easy must be as skinny as a a sheet of paper :) but let me stop being so negative. These past couple weeks have been so refreshing and cleansing. I'm looking forward to the upcoming weeks, weigh ins and appointments. I'm just keeping my eyes set to the end of the tunnel. I'm almost to my 50lb goal. Bring on Wednesday :)

Hello All

Hello everyone :)
Today is May 3rd 2010

Oh so much has been going on since I last posted. Ian is 18 months old weighing in at 32lbs and is 35in tall. He is getting so big and his vocabulary is getting bigger. I just can't get over how big he is getting.

Will is working alot and hardly home but that is all part of the job. :)

As for me, I'm beginning a new chapter in my life. I'm letting go of things and i'm going to concentrate on my family (Will, Ian and myself) I'm starting a new class today for college. Nothing else is really going on. I've learned alot in the last couple of weeks and i'm pretty sure these burns are going to stay with me. Oh well just another day right lol.
Here are a few pictures :)
