Female, 31 Years old
Burnet, TX
Looking for:
Diet, Support Buddies
About me:
I am 31 years old. I am a full time writer of children's and young adult novels and full time assistant manager at a state park. In my spare time I read and I am learning to play a guitar. Never too late. I am almost finished with a psychology degree and who knows what I will do after that! I am a bit of a commitment-phobe (hince my problem with commiting to a diet...seems all I commit to is eating *lol*) but I do have 2 kitties *future crazy cat lady*. I have a wonderful supportive Mom. Also holding me together is my little sister, my little brother, my sister in law and my baby nephew. I also have had a BFF that I have been through fat and fatter with for the last 12 years! I love them all sooo much and I know they love me. I have been told by all of them that they don't want to see me killing myself any longer. I am truely blessed.

I have been fighting obesity with a bi-polar disorder as long as I can remember. When I was in college I went into a bad depression and shot up over 300lbs and have been struggling ever since. I have a 19 month old nephew whom I adore and cannot keep up with. My mother and I want to start traveling. Next year we are going to take our first trip. I want to be able to enjoy my first trip. My goal is to able to walk, breathe and live my life outside of a Ben & Jerry pint!
Who I hope to meet:
I would like to meet people who have suffered all their lives like me and have really just reached the end where it is life or death. Everyone could use a friend and a little encouragement.
Diet:
I am going to just try to eat healthier and give up Diet Coke. *ouch*
Exercise:
I am going to get up and walk every 2 hours when I am at work for at least 10 minutes & swimming.

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

~Friedrich Nietzsche

You can conquer almost any fear if you will make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.

~Dale Carnegie

A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.

~William Arthur Ward

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

I will waste not even a precious second today in anger or hate or jealousy or selfishness. I know that the seeds I sow I will harvest, because every action, good or bad, is always followed by an equal reaction. I will plant only good seeds this day.

~Og Mandino

A day you waste is one you can never make up.

~George Allen

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

~John D. Rockefeller

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

~Norman Cousins

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become.

~Heraclitus


It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

~Charles Darwin

Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

~Dale Turner

(Dream big dreams, then put on your overalls and go out and make the dreams come true.)
