Sometimes I wonder how many new beginnings I will have before I lose this weight and keep it off. Growing up, I was thin and never imagined that I would have a chronic weight problem. But the reality is, I have been fat a heck of a lot longer than I have been thin.

This morning, I was determined to follow the same plan that I always intend to follow. I am finding it very hard to get back to my exercise routine and to stick with it. Sleep seems to call my name every morning when I wake up. . . "Sleep....stay in bed.....just 5 more minutes". But, even though I thought those things, I got up and went downstairs to the treadmill. It wasn't the best 30 minutes, but it was a start. This is just one step in a million steps that I need to take.
