OK well in a moment of weakness I succumbed to Lindsey's request to be one of the three Ds!
I took me three days to figure out how to log on to the BLOG. I still cant do my POGs without Lindsey's help, so I am usure why in the hell she picked me!
I am definately a DOER, being a young single parent of two sons, I raised them by myself and attended all of my college and law school at night while working full time and raising them! I have achieved every goal I have sought after with the exception of a healthy permanent weight. It is painful to admit and even more so to put into writing for all to see. Yet, I am obligated by my commitment to myself this year to do this.
This is the year I turn 50! Mother of God how could that have happened? No matter what weight I am or what I do between now and July 16, on that date I will turn 50. So I decided to DEDICATE myself to one thing for the next six weeks, ME!
I am DETERMINED to put myself first, before my sons, my gransons, my clients and my DESIRES. This will be DIFFICULT for me. For the next six weeks I will ask myself before each and every food DECISION, will this get to you closer to your goal of putting yourself first?
As soon as I made this commitment, I was injured, doesn't that just figure? In the past I would use an injury or illness as an excuse to stop my attempts to put myself and my health first. Not this time! While I was unable to exercise for a few days, I stuck to my food plan and wrote everything down. DAMN I hate that part, but it works.
So as we three D's move forward over the next weeks, we hope you will join us in the BLOG that Lindsey has started. Share your thoughts, your fears, your struggles and your hopes with us. Feel safe and secure in sharing here, as you are among friends!
Make it a great DAY!

DeeAnn ~ I am soooooo happy you posted! Now I'm not lonely anymore :0 No longer do I hear an echo when I post as though I'm in an empty concert hall LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed & applaud that you write everything down. I do it, forget, do it again, forget, do it for 1/2 the day, forget once more, and so on. And then I become OCD about what I have/have not done that I either start over or just push it aside.
Great job & I really look forward to blogging with you. Congrats on everything you have accomplished ~ raising kids, doing school & and a career is a very full plate, that's for sure! But I'm glad you are with me on this voyage of putting "us" in the front of the line.
We should go out on a limb & post "now" pictures of ourselves.
And how does this stuff happen seemingly overnite (although I know it doesn't it just seems like I was thin & then woke up & poof, I was overweight). Funny thing is(not funny ha ha ha but metaphorically speaking) I was always thin until I had my 3rd kid. After that it all went to hell. And the reverse was true of my sister. She was grossly obese (like 300lbs) and lost the weight slowly but surely and now she's the skinny one.
Delighted to be doing the 3D with ya & hope you don't mind me, a slightly deranged doer ;p
