I hate attempting to lose weight. It's never easy! I still swear that you should burn calories as fast as you take them in. Oh why, oh why can't it be easy? I have had a problem with my weight since I started taking the birth control pill about 12 years ago. Since then, I've also had 2 babies and developed an under active thyroid. Lucky me, right?

I am hoping & praying that this blog will hold me accountable. I don't want my family knowing how much I weigh, but what do I care if a few strangers do?

And why, you ask, am I even thinking of starting a weight loss program in December? Well, I am hoping that this blog and my motivation can keep me from eating all the junk that's around.

Sadly, the only "before" picture I have of me as taken in May of 2009. I haven't lost any weight since this picture and this is the only "full length" picture of me that I can find. I sure am not going to take new ones.

Anyway, my purpose of this blog is to, hopefully, find motivation and determination, as well as having something to hold me accountable.
