Okay, I was all excited when I stepped on the scale today and saw that the needle had moved to a solid number!  (I won't tell you what it is)  But, it was definately on the number that was 10 DOWN from the number I started at!  I have been trying to lose weight for YEARS!  (Not just the 2 years since Emma was born)  But, like 5 years before that!  See, I have this rebelious streak in me, and if someone tells me I have to lose weight, then I am going to put more weight on just because someone told me to do the opposite!  (Great logic, but, bear with me)  Well, my very loving EX husband would tell me I was getting fat...  He would 'recommend' that I go to the gym.  I only saw him every 6 months or so...  Obviously he didn't love me.  (Which might or might not have been true, or I was just pushing him away)  WHATEVER!  For the last 5 and a half years I have been married to man I should have married 15 years ago!  He has never told me to lose weight, he has never suggested that I diet, he has never suggested in any way shape or form that he was not happy with me exactly the way I am.  I have decided that I need to lose the weight for me.  I saw a picture of me, with the girls that I watch during the day, and my daughter.  I am HUGE!  That day I cried, and finally started making the serious changes in  me that need to be made!  I still have over 50 lbs to go, but, I will get there one day at a time. 

Okay, happier subject!  My daughter will be 2 years old in 6 days!  Where did all the time go????

Congratulations sweetie!!  I know that you can lose the rest, because you can do anything you set your mind to!  Now, if I could actually set my mind to losing my stomach, life would be great!!
