Day 1 of the Big Challenge (posted by Angie)

Way to go Birgie... you guys are off to a great start and an excellent attitude. It's great that you have some knowledge from the past to help you again on this healthier path! Awesome start :)!!!! I weighed myself too and it was better than I thought. To be honest I haven't weighed myself in ages and I have lost some weight since my last annual checkup so that was cool. I also took a good gander at myself in the mirror. I don't do that often either cause of course it's shocking to me. So I have chosen in the past to deny it by just not looking. But that sure doesn't mean something isn't there eh? Oh well as much as you can look in the mirror and see all the negative stuff... its what you do with the information that counts. And I remind myself of qualities within that don't require reduction...lol... like kindness, compassion,love and respect. All of the things are easy to give to others but not always easy to give ourselves. So this needs to grow more inside of myself for myself to help take off the physical pounds.

I'm off to get Jenny from Johns and then a walk for some fresh air and exercise. Fish for dinner and salad.

Love ya all
Angie
