I have long since learned that I am a starter - I do really great at the beginning of whatever task it is I set for myself, but do not always finish.

In trying to reach my ideal weight, I am a perennial starter - and never a finisher or a continuer. This time I'm working really hard to change that :)

I love eating, food is wonderful - I just need to work on finding a better balance with it. There's no reason to not eat the foods I want as long I am smart about how much.

I also love working out, though since I graduated college I definitely have not done it consistently enough. Now add in a boyfriend who loves me at my current size and it's way too easy to get home and flop on the couch with him instead of get out and do something active.

I definitely believe that community is important, and know I can't do this alone. That's why I'm here - it's a great website!
