The gift of support
Mother’s Day is just around the bend here. I am very fortunate, my Mom and I share a home (along with my hubby.) Having me on IP was a bit of a challenge. My Mom has never had the morbid obesity that I shared with my father. Having me sticking strict to protocol and cooking…

train wreck or cha-cha
Sometimes you have a day where nothing is bad, but everything is off. Today has been that kind of day for me. I tried all my “tricks” and still derailed myself. I know I am stronger than carbohydrates! I know I deserve to be at peace and in control. I also know that today is…

Celebrate life
I am so excited. Today I get to go hang out with girl friends. We are going to paint our nails, turn on a little Prince, and DANCE! We all just needed a break from reality. It is so easy to get caught up in life and the drama that surrounds us, and we forget…

Believe in yourself
I have been a yo-yo dieter my ENTIRE life. I am making changes so that pattern stops. I am doing a lot of research. Lots and lots of reading, interviewing, and personal challenges.
