I've been fat all my life. I still think of myself as a fat person. I've just not gotten over that yet.
There are days I wake up and, for a few moments think that all the progress I've made is just a dream. There are days when I think that it won't be long before I'll start slipping back into my old way of doing things. There are days when I'm at the pool in my swim suit, and I don't want to take off my T-shirt because I've never felt comfortable going shirtless in public.
But I'm starting to realize it's not a dream. It's real and I think and hope that it's a permanent change. That's one of the reasons I've put together this web site. I want to share with folks that these changes can happen to you. I want a place to talk with folks about how this dream can become a reality. I need a little support group to make sure that this doesn't become a dream.
It can work. It has worked for me. It has not involved a pill, program or ploy. It has taken me several small steps toward a lifestyle of eating right and exercise. But....it...is...NOT....a dream. For me, it is reality and I hope it will be for you too.
