Ya know what's funny is that it...Well said Bri! Ya know what's funny is that it never even occured to someone like me that someone like you would sturggle with weight. You, along with most of my friends, go right in the skinny file. It just goes to show that no one is completely HAPPY with their body. I am on my path to my most fit self also. Like most addictions, admitting you have a problem is the first step. I've lost about 30 lbs and have kept it off for almost a year but I have about 50 more lbs left in my fat suit. And I plan to do it! As you said, we owe it to ourselves to be our best self and the world will benefit from us doing so. I am proud of you and support you! Also, I am super jealous that you can order your groceries and get them via the drive-thru. This will probably help you be strong when you are not intoxicated by the overwhelmingly scrumptious smell of the bread isle. Where I live, I can hardly find veggie burgers and whole wheat pasta. Eating clean proves quite difficult for someone who hasn't eaten meat in 13 years...Your blog is prec! So are you! Every ounce! I forgot how much I miss y'all until I starting getting a glimpse back into your funny life! GONADS! Mom STILL tells that story!

Period. I like to call it a hobby. I get the girls down for nap and get so "snacky" - I've tried to make better choices. We started using the free app for iPhones called "Lose It" and absolutely love it. It helps track food/calories, exercise, goals, etc. It has really helped.

Too bad it took being almost bedridden to get me to change my ways of eating, but I just lost 13 lbs, and I'm def not starving myself as you can see from the spreads of food here all the time at my house!! It's just eating the foods that FUEL you not FILL you. I was just thinking also yesterday how cool would it be to just get a group of moms together to work out the fun way - playing my dance dance revolution & Just Dance!!!Denise S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13126084500170494405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2403867651941556375.post-87305624306378537912012-07-07T12:17:30.558-07:002012-07-07T12:17:30.558-07:00Bri, you should look up Candace Cameron's book...Bri, you should look up Candace Cameron's book called Reshaping It All--- she is the girl who played DJ Tanner on full house. Her family has become christians and she writes about her struggle with weight from a christian perspective--- literally not letting food be an idol and being healthy,etc. She makes A LOT of good points and its one of my favorites. A plus is that it is also a good devotion too. Check it out!! and p.s. I think you look smokin' hot all the time :)<br /><br />xo,<br />ashleyAshley Slaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531572734350536917noreply@blogger.com
