And I am going to try and make this a good one. More than just my weight, but my self as well. I know I don’t write about it much here, but things are still tough for me. There are times I get sad and lonely and other times I am determined that I am better off alone. So, just like anyone else I have ups and downs.

Getting back into shape and losing this weight is just step one. Feeling better about how I look can only help me feel better about myself in general. These isn’t any reason for me to run out and buy any bridal lingerie, but I might do it anyway once I get back to 115. You know, just for fun. And something I didn’t expect. I feel better emotionally after working out. It’s more than a sense of accomplishment, it’s just simply feeling that things are going to be okay. That I can handle my own life.

Another goal I have are to pay off my debt. I have about $4200 between credit cards and the school. Now this does not include my school loan, but that will be next. Once I get these small debts paid off I am going to start saving money again. As much as I can.

My last, and certianly not least goal is to learn to love myself. Learn to be happy with who I am. Being slimmer and in shape as well as debt free will really make me feel good about myself.

And having friends like you all is really going to help me reach my goals!

    Definitely love yourself! You are lovable. None of us is perfect. I have learned to love myself (for the most part anyway) and it’s made me a lot happier in my life.

    Leigh – I love your goals! It sounds like you did great over the holiday season, too and shed some pounds. CONGRATULATIONS!!

    Me – I’m at my all time high (sigh), but got a new game plan on. Little by little, right?

    Wishing you a Happy New Year!!
