Time to Stop!

Eating, worrying, stressing, blaming and most of all living! I titled this a Time to Stop for all of those reasons. I have not always struggled with my weight. There have been many times in my life I have been okay with myself and even loved myself, but not now. I look at this moment as a need for change! Stop eating foods that are not healthy and filling, stop worrying about what will happen, stop stressing about life, stop blaming all of those things for my weight gain, and most of all stop living as if I have tomorrow to change. 2010 marks a year for me! I am really concentrating on myself this year. With Richard in Afghanistan and my children in a place where they are comfortable with life, I find all the reasons in the world to really focus on me! In this picture I am at my heaviest, 236.8lbs. That is a number I thought I would never see. Now I have seen it for the last time. Weight Watchers is a program that works and I know it works for me. Four weeks in I am at 225.6, a total loss of 11.2 lbs in one month! I am excited to start this journey. I am not alone in this. With my best friend by my side we are doing this together! And as times will come of thoughts of giving up, I know we will be there for each other and remind one another, sisters never give up!-Steph
