Hellloooooooooo Everyone and welcome to my new page! I have invited you here because you either liked my status on my personal page or commented below that status that you wanted to be on this page. If I made a mistake, Im sorry! For those of you who dont know me very well, I am a mom to four awesome (challenging........and STUBBORN......but awesome) boys. I love my family more than I can ever express. Ive had my share of lifes challenges.....who hasnt?......but Ive always made it through those struggles a stronger person than when I started. Just over 3 years ago I started a weight loss journey. I dropped 100 lbs. I was more than happy with my accomplishment.....but not really happy with myself. I have almost ALWAYS been obsessed with what the scale says. And let me tell you, that doesnt always lead to a very healthy mental state. I want more. I want to be healthy but be HAPPY too. I dont want to beat myself up if I have ice cream one night. I dont want to feel like Im a total failure if I sit around one weekend and enjoy pizza with my boys.....I just dont want that anymore. I DO want to try my hardest to start a clean eating lifestyle though. I have done it in the past and was very successful. I know I can do it again and be the healthiest me I can be. Inside......and out. This page is not a page that is going to tell you what you HAVE to do. I will have challenges but never ask anyone to post if they fail. This page will be a page of suggestions, support and hopefully ideas and encouragement from other people on here. Im going to do my best to eat clean.......but let me tell you, I super enjoy my wine / cocktail and cheese nights. My date nights out and my pizza / movie nights with my boys. I love get togethers and bbqs....I love holidays and all the treats and yummy stuff that comes with it. When I go to the theater I absolutely HAVE to have a coke and popcorn......WITH BUTTER (like I might not survive if I dont get them) and Ive been know to have full on conversations with peanut M&Ms that are in my cupboard while debating whether or not to sneak one. ;) Im not perfect and I dont intend to just be an absolute die hard clean eater over night. Im probably going to have more cheat days than I can count but my goal is to start working towards it. In the past when I did this......it was a process but I finally got to the point where I TRULY didnt want the bad for you stuff anymore. I want to be there again. I want to do it for health reasons though, not because I think I HAVE to in order to be a weight that I think will make me fit in. I will be posting ideas and recipes often. I will also start the page off with a challenge. Look for it in the next day or so! =) BTW......the profile pic to this page is one that I took from my garden a few years back! I think its very fitting for the group!
