16 days into my 39th year

Random. Likes to start things, but not finish them. Perpetual yo-yo dieter. Low self-esteem. Unhappy marriage. Martyr. Financially unstable. Overweight. Feels hopeless. Doesn't look forward to the future.

That's me. And all that's about to change. Finally.

Join me on my Journey to Lose 40 lbs before I turn 40 and to improve my quality of life. Here I am 16 days into my 39th year of life and I'm feeling hopeless, lost and chronically unhappy with my life. This must stop and it stops now. I meant to start my journey on my 39th birthday, but that didn't happen. I figured I had a whole year ahead of me and that I'd start "someday". Well, in fashion with my random ways, let's start this journey on my 16th day into my 39th year and on a Thursday. Why not? Monday's never work, 1st of the month never works and tomorrow just never seems to come.

So today, November 3rd, 2011 I begin small gradual changes to a better me. A happier me. A smarter me. A healthier me. A financially stable me.

Today's small healthy change: One cup of coffee instead of my usual two. I want to wean myself off of caffeine.

Today's financial change: I'm having payroll direct deposit 10% of my paycheck to a separate account so that I can finally establish my Emergency Fund.

Today's Self Affirmation: I deserve to be happy!

Today's Marital Affirmation: No matter what, I will not allow myself to behave in a fashion that is beneath my dignity.
