16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I love the beach. We go to the beach every year and every year I vow I will lose weight by the time we go the next year. Last year, I went from 173 to 146 in that year, but last summer, I also went to National competition with my youth choir where we ate out 2 meals a day for 5 days. I gained 5 pounds from that, and after that it just came back on. I haven't weighed myself for a while, but the last time I weighed myself I had gained 10 back, possibly more. The goal I would like to reach by the time we go to the beach this year is 130 pounds. To do this, I need positive feedback. I will also provide encouragement to anyone else in need of it. I feel for people who, like me, are also struggling with their weight. (I also like to talk a lot, obviously.)Thanks!!!!!

My goal, aside from nutrition and exercise, is to begin to identify myself differently than I ever have before.  Instead of "I've always been fat", "I hate exercise" or "I don't have time" I want new labels: "I am a rational eater", "Exercise makes me feel better all day" and my new favorite, "Any good thing leads to more good things."

I am open to any buddies who want to encourage and share along our journeys.  I love CCP and I wish each of you well on your own journey!        TINA
