Happy, Healthy, Hello Me!

Hello and welcome!  My name is Amy (AmyJoGo on message boards) and this is where I tell you how I got to the place I am. 

I've always been this way.  Suffice it to say I learned at a very early age to internalize my emotions.  Food is how I dealt with whatever I couldn't (or wouldn't) face. 

So now, I'm in a place where I'm forcing myself to face myself...my biggest inhibitor.  I put myself here.  I am my own enemy.  It's true.  I abuse myself emotionally, spiritually and physically.  But as of now, I refuse to be my enemy.

As of now, I am committed to being my own best friend.  My desires, wants and needs are my number one priority.  It sounds selfish, but it's necessary.  In order to be the friend, sister, daughter, future wife and future mother I want to be, I have to be there for myself first and foremost.

So this is where I start making changes.  This is where I will chronicle my ups and downs with weightloss and healthful living so I can start living my life the way I've always wanted to live it:  Happy, Healthy...Hello Me!
