Another welcome...

All right, here's the down low, folks. I've decided to start sharing this with close friends. It's tough for me to let myself be so exposed, but I think I really need to involve those who are close to me in life.

I know that I have a lot of people in my life who will root for me and support me. Thanks if you are one of those people. I just ask that you respect my privacy and not share this with a whole bunch of people. I'm not quite ready for that yet. I might be once I take off some more weight, but this is so personal. I'm pretty much raw and exposed in order to make myself a better person.

So...moral of the story? If you're interested, cool! Thanks for tuning in every now and again. You can use the labels on the right side of the page to read things that AREN'T daily updates. (Daily updates are mainly for my own good, just so I can keep track of my eating and exercising habits dependent on my moods.)

If you aren't interested, not a big deal! I am going on my journey wtih or without others. The train is getting on the tracks, whether anyone is with me or not. I already have so many people who are with me on the train, though. I'm getting 110% support from family, Sparkfriends, and my boyfriend. And it's a beautiful thing. I'd love it if you joined me. And if you have your own goals to accomplish, maybe you'll get some motivation and join me in the efforts!

Either way, thanks for checking in with me! I hope to hear from you if you get the chance.
Also, if you're interested in weight loss, please check out SparkPeople.com! It's a FANTASTIC website that is FREE! It gives you such a great support system and is a way to get going on your journey! I know it's made all the difference these past two weeks for me. (Ex: I was feeling really down on my birthday, and then ON my birthday, I received over 100 comments wishing me a happy birthday from the "DONE BEING THE FAT GIRL" team. They are wonderful!)

Okay, now that I have that little plug put in here, I'll finish this entry. Thanks again.

Love,
Cassie
