The first day

Ten years ago I graduated high school.  In a size 14 dress.  I thought I was fat.  If only I could repeat high school with the confidence I have gained in the last 10 years.  I think if we could, we would all go back and change something.  Well, I can't go back and do it all over, but I can make changes to my life right now.  So that is what I am going to do.  Currently I am sitting in a pair of Old Navy jeans in a size 20.  Not the biggest ones they sell, but bigger than I want to be wearing.  My goal is to lose 75 pounds in the next year.  And since I can't do it alone. (I know this from dieting experience) I have decided to get help.  Thats where the blog comes in.  I will post my achievements and my failures.  I will post what keeps me encouraged and what brings me down.  And you, the ones who read this, can respond in kind.  Today is the beginning of the rest of my life.  A healthier, longer life. A life in a smaller pair of jeans :)
