Hefy Lady Gets Fit

     Having battled weight issues forever, I had convinced myself that no matter what method I tried (and believe me, I've tried many), I could not lose weight.  Then a little over a year ago my Dr. had a serious talk with me and I tried once more and lost 15 lbs.  But, a year later  I had lost no more.  I told myself what we all say, "My metabolism is slow, I have a thyroid problem no one can find, I will never weigh less", then I watched other people my age get up and down from couches and chairs without having to push and shove like I do, and I decided whatever it takes, I am going to get this excess weight off.  After joining FitClick, I started thinking of my weight loss journey, one day at a time and set as my goal to eat healthy one day at a time.  Joining the weight loss challenge has kept me determined and so far I have lost at least one pound a week.  What have I discovered?  Weight loss for me is not impossible.  It is work and it is difficult, but broken down one day at a time, it certainly is doable.  I host an annual Christmas party for my cousins early in December and what keeps me going is to shut my eyes and imagine the reaction I will get from all of them if I keep losing one pound a week from now until then.  Weight loss, impossible?  No, just challenging!
