I felt awful about myself. I had so much control over myself....why not something as simple as the food I put in my mouth?
I can't remember how, but almost 3 years ago I stumbled upon Sparkpeople's website. I enjoyed the website, but just wasn't ready for change. I have spent the last 3 years on and off this site.
I would like to tell you an "event" or some magic lightbulb came on for me, but for me it was more of an awareness....like someone had lit a fire inside my soul. An urge to eat less and move more came over me. In May 2011, I began to take my life seriously and have been here faithfully ever since.
