I owe the inspiration for this blog to Christina at Never The Skinny Girl. It was the middle of the night last week when I discovered her blog while spending yet another sleepless night surfing the internet. Her postings inspired me to take the first step towards regaining my health - acknowledging that I am the only one who can change my life.
I've spent the last week debating whether or not I was really ready this time. I've started so many "Monday Morning" diets and I don't want to go back to that pattern. But over the last week I've read not only Christina's blog but many of the blogs she follows. And, I am bursting with enthusiasm! Thank you to everyone who has posted their struggles and their triumphs. You have touched my life and made me believe that this time I CAN do it!
Let the journey begin!
I just want to officially welcome you to the wonderful world of weight loss blogging. I also want to thank you for mentioning me in your post above and I'm glad that myself and others have inspired you to take this step. If you ever need someone to talk to I'm here for you and I will help you anyway I can. There are so many great people on here and you will see as your blog grows. Don't be afraid to ask questions to any of us or comment on our blogs because we all love getting comments. Good luck and never give up.
