enjoy being fit, happy, and live.

The future is bright.  So much is going well.  Reaching my goal weight will be icing on the cake.  I'm 45 now and have a 3 yr old son, 14 yr daughter, and 20 yr son, also raised a now 22 yr old step daughter. My husband is very tall and thin.  I'm short and overweight.  He's always had to 'work to keep on his weight'.  He smokes, eats fries and doesn't work at his health, yet LOOKS healthy.  I love him dearly and am excited to loose weight and show him a better view!  He deserves all I can ever do.  We've been married 5yrs and recently built a large home on a hilltop farm in SE Ohio.  Life is so good.  I want to live to enjoy many years here.  Good health makes every day life so much fuller.  Yesterday I hiked a steep slope with my older son.  I did very well and felt healthy.  Wish I could recall all this when I get impatient and make poor choices.  Stumbled across the OH website while reading success stories on aol.  One successful lady gave tribute to members on OH for helping her fight the emotional battle.  There are times of clarity and strength.   There are times of impulsive weakness and disregard.  I plan to focus on increasing the positive times.
