Introductions

Let's get to know one another better. Post your name or secret ID, where you live (just in general), what your are doing to eat right, anything else you want anyone to know about you...I'll start.

On the web, I go by Athena or Athenainaminivan. Since you all know in IRL (in real life) let's just keep my real name to ourselves. I refer to my children on the web as Butch, Sundance and Hopalong. Butch is my oldest twin who is spunky and is 8 yrs old (by 2 minutes), Sundance, who will talk you ears off, is the other twin and is 8 too. Hopalong is their ever energetic 4 yr old brother. I refer to my husband as Honey.

We live in Texas in a former small town now turned Suburban sprawl just north of Dallas.

I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I have tried them all, well mostly, Weight Watchers so many times I could own stock. I had success between pregnancies but I am trying to lose my baby weight and he is now 4.

I have spent the past 6 months learning how to glorify the Lord in my eating. I have been dealing with some pretty heavy emotions but now the time has come to get some support and lose the weight for the last time. It will be a huge struggle but with prayers, love, support, I know this time will be the last time.

I love the others on this group blog. I am looking forward to joining you all as we journey together.

You are awesome, funny AND beautiful! I enjoyed our time at the park too. My kiddos fell asleep on my mom's lap at 7:45 from the running at the park! I know we are on the right track of getting control...self-control!
