Afternoon all of you beautiful healthy peeps!!!!!

I MADE it past three Sonics, two Wendys and scores of other fast food places. I just ate my sandwich, grapes, carrots and cheese and drank my water. I am so proud!!!!!!!

I get so excited coming to this thread daily and reading about success, problems with solutions, questions and personal, very personal stories each of you share. I am so happy to be in this thread and so very proud of everyone!!!!!!

My three words this year are:

Realist....I now see what i really see and not what i thought i saw. Ya know? I know i need to loose weight. I've done it before i can do it again. My system works for me. I know it does, i've done it. So, i'm now a realist...seeing what is truly needed and doing what needs to be done.

Driven....I'm somewhat an over achiever in things i put my mind too, i was in school, i am at work..my body, however, not so much. I'm going to use the "over achiever" that is engrained in my brain and use it to help me for a much needed change.

Positive!!!! I am a positive person, especially with other people. It is time i was positive about me, personally, and being the best i can be. My life couldn't be better right now, i am very much in love, my job is wonderful, my family is healthy. I turn 50 this year. All the more reason to be positive about myself, my body and my everything.

I have lost, at this point, 8.3% of my goal weight-loss for June 1, on week one. I know it will slow down after the initial couple of weeks but, I am on my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
