Introduction Text Life is like wrestling a gorilla. You don't stop when you are tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired! Life is full of lots of gorillas. I have wrestled with "the gorilla" of being overweight all my life. I have realized that it will always be part of my life, but I am not going to let it pin me down. I am struggling with a chronic disease, but it is not going to get me down! No matter what, when I am in good shape, my weight is down, everything is better. I am ready to stop the yo-yo roller coaster. It is time. I also do not want diabetes. My mother already has it. No thanks! So...here we go. I hope to give and get lots of support. Let's do it!!! I choose to have a positive attitude. Of course, I am not always happy and positive on the outside, but on the inside- I have inner peace! We have the power to determine how we respond no matter what happens!

Manage pain better Loose weight More energy Lose 100 Avoid diabetes Get out of credit card debt- not sure this is possible, but what the heck...while we are shooting high...student loans, etc... UGH!

I am reading The Spark. I plan to utilize short term goals to lose 10 lbs at a time in order to lose at least 100 lbs. 1. Sleep 8 hrs/night 2. Drink 8 servings of H2O/day 4. Cardio at least 10 minutes every day and 30 minutes 3 times/week minimum. 3. Track my nutritional habits and analyze them.

I am from Tennessee but now call Georgia home. I am blessed by God! 2 wonderful children married to my best friend I am a teacher, and I love it. I love LIFE, and I like to LAUGH everyday.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference! Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
