My life experience mirror's most everyone on this posting. Having been over weight most all of my life.. at least as long as I can remember, (being 'chubby') etc. About 3 years ago, I did a life changing seminar and lost 150 pounds. Which put me at 238. Felt great!! Wanted to lose about 40 more and then my father died, I miscarried and totalled my car all in one year!!! I got really sick at the end of the year and in all of this I gained 40 ---- I am not being too hard on myself about the weight gain.. But now, a year later.. I am ready to rock!!!!!

Motivation now ---- to feel good! I love the word ~VITALITY~ . It means that how I take care of myself shows up in who I am ... feeling sexy to myself... physically feeling well .... having confidence...stepping out there...etc.

I just turned 40!!!!! and I am reinventing myself!!!!
