I've entered the world of blogging...

And John thought I spent too much time on the computer before? Oye Vey!

I am starting this blog because my sister has inspired me. We just got off the phone a few minutes ago, and she has me in tears. Good tears. She just gave me the proverbial "I have faith in you" speech, and it is about time that I take her faith in me and run with it.

I am tired of who I am. Not that I don't think I am a good person, but I am tired of how I look and of how I treat my body. It is time for a change. I am tired of being overweight. I am tired of being infertile. I am tired of looking into my large bathroom mirror and seeing nothing but blah. Sure there are great things I do see in the mirror ~ for example, I love my eyes when I'm wearing blue eyeshadow and mascara, I love my lips when they are lined perfectly and the right lipstick is applied, and I love my hair color. But when I look below the neck, it is a different story.

So it is just one week into 2008. I resolve to eat better, work out, attend Weight Watchers' meetings weekly, take care of my body, and get pregnant! If the aforementioned items can happen, then I will be a happy person, both inside and out.

LOVE IT! See, it's going to be easier than you think. Tell as many people as you can about your blog and stick with it. It's just another form of accountability!!!

Like I said to you today, you are beautiful inside and out. It's time for you to be comfortable in your own skin (yeah, I know, I should listen to my own advice right?)

I love you (and love the blog!)

Welcome to the world of blog. Seems Dad and I are away behind the times. On to more serious things....your committment to be fit. I am so proud of you. I truly think this push is what you've needed to get yourself healthy and see yourself for what you truly are. Yes, your eyes and lips are beautiful, but so are you! I love you, Sweetie, and will be as supportive and as helpful and as encouraging as I can possibly be as you attain your goals. Go, girl. You can do it xoxox I love you, Kristen.

Health - an awesome goal. Parenthood - even better. (And parenthood while being healthy? WOW.) Always know, however, that your heart radiates PURE beauty and is the TRUE reflection of yourself.

Take it one day at a time. If you "mess up" just think about those driving direction GPS things that talk to you when you go the wrong way... "Please make a U turn at the next available opportunity." Just make a U turn. Don't beat yourself up. Just calmly stop and turn around to get on the path you intended. Love you. XOX

Weight Watchers is the best program out there and will definitely help you achieve your goals. You know that Uncle Rob and I think you are beautiful and perfect as you are this very moment, but I do understand the desire to feel better. Uncle Rob has vowed to eat all the junk you can't or won't eat if that will help! We love you and John and know that good things are coming to you this year. I will stay tuned to this blog! xoxoxoxox

Kris, as you know I too struggled for many years with my health and weight, and I know how painful it can be when you look in the mirror and feel like you don't recognize the person staring back at you. I made the decision two years ago to take control and to get healthy. It's been a long hard struggle for me but you have supported me through each step including last Friday. I am still on my quest to be the best me that I can be. I hope that I can support you in becoming the you that you want to be. I love you Kris!

What happened to my previous witty comments??? They seem to have disappeared. Anyway, keep at it, exercise a bunch, drink lots of water, take lots of poops, and you'll see the pounds drop off.

Love you---Dad
