Well...If I can get through this without tearing up...
I'll soon be 45 years old and left my husband of 23 years a year ago Dec.(2002) I have NO inclination to have a SO anytime soon. I am enjoying being single!

I do however wish to have a different quality of life...I still have young children (10 & 13) who know nothing but a FAT mom. I want to be fit and strong to finish my job as a mom and be able to enjoy granchildren...someday. LOL

I strive to be thinner to have the confidence to get out and look for that better job. One where I'm not the fat woman being hidden in a back room.

I already feel better about myself...I feel I have accomplished much with losing 61 pounds so far. Everyday is a new chance to reach a once unattainable goal. Life to the fullest.
