Diet Time, Again

I have written post after post about my desire to lose weight. It is not just a question of beauty for me, because I am happy right now and know I am beautiful. :) It is more of a health thing for me. I have always been on the heavy side, but ever since having my youngest daughter seven years ago, I have steadily gained weight. It didn't help that I quit smoking right around that time, too. I have read many success stories, written by women like me who have found ways to lose weight and keep it off. I know the success rate is not good for obese people to keep the weight off once they lose it, but I really want to be one of the successful ones. I just need to find something that will work for me.

So starting tomorrow, I told Junior we are going to walk every day. I know it doesn't sound like a big thing, but I think it is a step in the right direction, no pun intended. Hopefully this will motivate us to do more. I am tired of losing my breath doing the simplest things. I am tired of not being able to bend over. I'm hoping this will be the beginning of my success story.

I soooooooooo need to get back into a walking routine too. I'm hoping as the puppies get older they will help motivate me as I can take them out with me each day!!
