In the beginning.................oh, where do I start.  My name is Lynette and I am a wife, mom, step-mom, and Grandma.  I have one son, a wondeful husband, two step-sons, and a precious granddaughter, Madison Lynne.  My weight problems started almost back as far as I can remember.  Looking back at pictures you can easily see that at 4 years old I was "normal" size, (whatever that is) and then at five I started to begin to get chubby.  Chubby turned into Chunky, Chunky turned into Plump and Plump turned into Fat. I have always been the "funny, life of the party, outgoing" fat girl.  I have SOOOO many friends, dear friends, and I never felt they thought any less of me for being fat.  I have never felt anything but love from my family either.  But the stares, gestures and rude comments that come from a total stranger can tear you apart.  I want MY chance to be an acceptable weight.  I want to know what it feels like to just buy an outfit because you love it, not just because it happens to fit.  I want to hear someone say "you look great!".  I want MY time.  But above all of that, I want to get healthy.  God has blessed me with a WONDERFUL family and I want to be here to enjoy them.  I want to be as close to my grandbaby as my Grandma was with me.  I want to be able to get down and really play.   And I intend to do it.  With Gods, help and with his blessings, this will be my chance.  All I need is the chance.
