If you fall off a horse, you get back up on the horse and try it again!

Well, that's what I've always been told and when I was riding, that's what I did when I fell off or was even thrown. Got right back on that horse and tried it again! When it comes to weight loss, why is it so hard? I am completely ashamed of myself that I did not pursue this with the vigor that I thought I would. Instead, I just gave up! Which in turn caused me to gain more weight.
Oh the vicious cycle!

So, I had to start asking myself some hard questions. What happened? Why did I stop? I looked deep inside and did not like what I saw. I saw a person that had become a slave to laziness and complacency. My family loves me just the way I am but they too desire for me to be a healthier wife and mother. However, that did not get me motivated. So many people say, "Well, you have to do it for yourself or you will never do it." How selfish can that be? Why does it come down to ME? Yes, I do want to be a healther person, but I want to be here for the long haul for my husband and for my daughter.

Now with this said, I am back! Tomorrow is a new day and a new challenge begins. So what does Fat and Fabulouse at Forty mean to me now? It means that I'm am making life changes that will help me to insure a healthy lifestyle and will get me on the road to weight loss success and maintenance. Hold on tight the ride is going to be crazy!

PS Thanks to so many that have asked me where I was and why I haven't been blogging! You are great dear friends and I love you big much!
