Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the sweet comments and support you have shown me since my last post. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. It is amazing how much better I am feeling. I feel so at peace and free right now. It feels like a heavy load has been lifted off my shoulders. I am finally beginning to feel excited to start this new chapter in my life. I am still nervous, but I know that God will lead me down the road he has planned for me. Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Thank you Mark for putting this in your lesson this morning. I needed to hear it.) Also, I am happy to report that the scales are going down again. YAY!!! This is a picture of me before going to the Bama game yesterday. Still a ways to go, but I am on my way to looking and feeling FaBuLoUs!! :)

On a Mission

Lately, I have had several people ask me where my posts have been...so here I am. I am so sorry I haven't kept up with the blog like I should. I know most of you know this by now, but I am going through a divorce. That is not something I am proud of. I never wanted this life for me or my kids, but sometimes you have to make choices in your life that you never dreamed of making. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. However, going through this has made me realize just how little I have focused on myself for the last 13 years of my life. I realize that as wives and mothers, many of us don't have time or take time for ourselves. I think this was a mistake of mine. Please don't get me wrong. I love my boys with all my heart. They mean the world to me, but not taking care of myself is not good for me or them. So, now I am a woman on a mission....It is time for me to become the "BEST ME" I can be. I know that this blog is mainly about weight loss, and obviously, that is still a goal of mine. I know that if and when I reach my goal weight I will feel so much better about myself. But, that is not my only goal anymore. Being the "BEST ME" doesn't just mean looking fabulous...It means changing on the inside as well. It means being the best mom, daughter, sister, and friend I can be. I know the person I want to become. I have spent way to much time feeling sorry for myself. I have to let go of the past and things I cannot change. We are only on this Earth for a short time, and I intend to spend the rest of my time living and loving my life. While I may regret choices I have made in my past, this is a turning point. I want to be able to look back when I am 80 years old and be proud of the way I lived my life, without regrets. I want my kids to grow up proud of their mom. I want to set the best example I can for them. So here is to my mission....I am looking at the date and it is Sept. 25th. That means it is 3 months till Christmas. This year I am going to give myself the best Christmas present I can, and that is to become the "BEST ME" I can be!!!
