2012 - A Year to "Believe" in Me

This is a picture taken just a few months before I started my weight loss journey; it has been a long road.

Last January just before we dropped Kortnee off at the Missionary Training Center in Provo.

I had come a long ways but at this point my journey had stalled; it was time to get back on track.

Today - January 8, 2012 - and look at how far I have come!

I have worked hard this past year on my weight loss journey.  I hit a roadblock this summer.  When I have dieted in the past I have hit a certain point a couple of times and then stalled and not been able to lose anymore.  I have become frustrated and given up.  Not this time - I have broken through that plateau and I am never going back. 

The last few months have been a bit rough; my integrity has been questioned, my hubby has had some health problems and I have struggled with some other issues. 

Over this last month I have found me.  I have learned a lot of things about myself - where I have been, where I am going and what I look forward to.

I know that I am a good person.

I know that I would never intentionally hurt anyone.

I know that I can do hard things.

I am not afraid.

I "BELIEVE" in ME! 

This is the year that I am going to finally hit that illusive weight loss goal - I am so close and yet so far.
