The New Beginning
Jul 13, 2007
I am beginning a journey that will take me to the next phase of my life. I have had a challenging but wonderful life. I am 40 years old and I've been married for 22 years and have two of the most beautiful, perfect daughters on earth (ages 18 and 19.) Now that I have raised my children (and I just finished raising my 5 year old neice for the past eight months because of a difficult family situaiton) I feel like it is my turn. My turn to do something just for me. That is something I really have never done. I have had a very successful career in politics and in home building (I know strange combination) and I have some of the best friends in the whole world - but I have never never focused on me - until now. I have also been so successful at everything else - except my weight. It is the one goal I have that I work and work at but I never get there. It is the one part of my life that I have been a total failure. A failure my whole life. I look around my home office and I see at least 50 weight loss books. Books that only gave me a few days or weeks of hope each and then failure again. But this time it will be different. For the first time in my life I have hope - real hope that I can too succeed at this one thing that makes me feel like a big fat failure.
