No matter where you start or where you stop, life seems to come full circle. My life is about to take on a level it hasn't in many many years now, but it's one I am completely ready for and welcome with open arms.

My boyfriend of many years is moving in from out of state. We lived together before but it has been so long. May even get married someday soon. My daughter will graduate high school next year and my son the year after that. Both have high hopes of joining the military.

What do we all have in common? A need for weight loss. All in various levels but one is just as important as the other. I have the most significant amount to lose after tipping the scale at 300 lbs. I almost cried. I had no one to blame but myself because I know the right things to do but have chosen not to do them.

I'm always on the computer playing games, watching TV, asking the kids "get this for me", reading and basically making any excuse I can not to move and do for myself. Funny thing is I'm quite capable of doing it all on my own. Only in recent months has my weight caused me day to day pain from the stresses on my bones.

It's time to take control of my weight, eating and exercising issues and quit saying "starting tomorrow...". It starts today, now! It's in my hands and only I can make the difference.
