May 17th, 1997 - My first "date" with my husband

I was probably around 200 lbs at the time. Those were the days!

Reality Check

I'm not a big fan of Dr. Phil, but this quote speaks VOLUMES to me. It's something I need to keep reminding myself.

Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life. ~Phillip C. McGraw, The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom, 2003
