Yes, I didn't read the directions before taking my "on the scale" picture and held my word up. Oh well, they accepted me anyway.
I accept me the way I am too, but I don't have to like it...so that is why I'm kicking my butt into gear. My baby girl is getting married next year and I want to be a better me by then. I want to be here and be healthy for my future grandchildren (I have one already from my first child).
I have RA, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, all which will benefit from me losing weight. The RA makes it hard to excercise but I'm going to do it on my non-flare days. I have a husband who came back from Iraq...well...different. He has PTSD and severe depression, which has affected me and and made me a depressed person (I was always an optimist) and I'm just starting to learn that I'm the only one I can control...not him.
So this is my beginning...posting my picture for all to see.
