It hasn't impacted me negatively on the contrary....when we moved here is when I decided I needed to do something about my weight.

Everyone dresses so nice here I felt so ugly. I wanted to look good too. I told DH, if we are gonna live here then I need to look good too.

Plus the fact that I was extremly uncomfortable in the plane ride here cause I couldn't fit well in the seat. That's what really did it for me.

Because we travel so much due to this military life, I want and need to be comfortable. Our next plane trip is summer 2005 when we go to Spain, I plan on being at goal way before then and fitting just right in that plane seat.
