If at first you don't succeed, try try again!

I got on this site originally a couple years ago. At that time I weighed 250 lbs. and had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Since then, I have lost 42 lbs. On my 50th birthday, I went to a Powerhouse gym near me to get a membership. I walked out with a job and a free membership!!! I currently work there and also do construction on the side and at Powerhouse. Sadly enough, even though I have worked at the gym since Aug 2016... I have only worked out there ONCE!!! BUT it is now 2017... time for some major changes!!! Time to stop making excuses and start making changes!!! Best of luck to all of us in our endeavors.

I have recognized that my self esteem is at an all time low. This makes me very vulnerable to abuse in relationships. All my relationships, not even just the ones that involve men. I want to feel good physically and mentally. I want to quit committing slow suicide. I want my life back! I want to ride a bike again. I want to glow again. I want to feel worthy again!

Pepsi is my kryptonite. That and the fact that when I am "dieting" I weigh myself everyday. I can be doing GREAT! But if I gain back even 1 lb. I get discouraged and QUIT. When I feel stressed... I also backslide and spin out of control. Romantic relationships seem to be my biggest stressers.

People who are in the same boat and working hard inspire me. I have a problem with staying motivated thus far. Being held accountable by posting stats on facebook or here will help.

Not drinking pop. That has always been one of my biggest downfalls. I normally drink at least a 2 liter per day and sometimes even (2) 2 liters per day.

I love to sing... and feel totally at home on stage! I love writing, fixing things, creating beautiful things.
