Today IS THE DAY

I feel like I'm opening myself to something that might be good or bad, I  hope it will be good for me in the long run.  A little history here, I have been overweight for a very long, long time. and guess what I feel horrible.  My daughters worry about me often because I'm overweight but that's not all they worry because at my weight I do not feel like doing anything and I mean anything.  My daughter in Florida and her husband have been just counting calories and they have lost weight 27 for daughter and my son-in-law has lost 41 lbs.  I'm so proud of them and they did just by counting what they ate.  I tried but failed back when they started in Febuary. 

My daughter sent me this articile from a blog. http://caloriecount.about.com/beginning-my-new-life-b514732?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email&utm_term=share_blog_view&utm_campaign=share_blog And guess what it motivated me to take action, so I went and joined a low exercise water class and I started today counting those calories.  I'm posting this to see if I can inspire anyone else who would like to join me  on this journey/   I'm using calorie counter here http://caloriecount.about.com/ .  So if your interested let me know and we can share our stories and support one another in this endeavor.  Also I'm posting a picture of me at my highest and letting it all hang out.  Hope everyone is having a great day.

Hi Mom! All I can say is that I am so proud of you for taking this step to try and become healthy. It is a hard and fine line to walk. You are such an inspiration to me and I am so lucky to have you as my mother. I love you dearly. I will be here from afar to support you all day and all night. By the way....That picture of you is probably my favorite. I love you mom!
