It's my "birthday"

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am not an alcoholic, but I AM a food addict. Today is the day that I (and my husband and family) will start on our path to a healthier, leaner lifestyle. My goals are simple and attainable if I stay the course. This is not a diet. I've done plenty of those and know where I always end up. This is going to be the lifestyle that will lead us to a better place.

I found this quote on a page of one of my internet inspirations and it just fits where I am today.

"I shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me. Or I can be lost in the maze. My choice. My responsibility. Win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." - Og Mandino

In my mind and heart, I know what this journey will take and the tools that will help me along the way. It's time to put that knowledge and support to the test and just do it!
