Know when to hold 'em...

Kenny Rogers said..."You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run..." I think I'm gonna fold 'em! I'm going to Curves! I was going to try to do this on my own, but I can already see that it's not gonna work. I've slipped up - not as bad as I usually would, but I can see a pattern of late night eating and horribly sporadic sleep patterns (getting up at 6:50 a.m. to get my daughter ready for school, running errands all day then not going to bed until 2-3 a.m. the next morning)- I've GOT to stay OUT of the kitchen after a certain time if I want to have any measure of success. I need the support of a group- so... I made up my mind that a portion of my financial aid from school will go towards helping me lose weight. I can't really afford to do it, but in reality... if I want to LIVE and be HEALTHIER... I really cannot afford NOT to do it.

I have also found out there is a local Overeaters Anonymous chapter in my area, so I think I'm going to give them a try also. I'm not used to going to many places on my own but...heck I said I'm staring down fear and anxiety this year. I'm 37 and there's no reason WHY I feel like I MUST have a companion EVERYWHERE I go.

I'll keep you updated. It's ME v/s the Muffin Top... IT'S GOTTA GO!! I'm "TOO CUTE" to not be able to button my pant - how that relates I don't know, but I DO KNOW that I AM too cute to be carrying around all this unhealthy weight, I want my outer beauty to shine like my inner beauty does! :)

Stay tuned....
