This Christmas

This Christmas....- originally written on 12-27-10

This Christmas was exciting and so much fun.  We had a house full of family members; mom, dad, brother, girlfriend, nephew, niece, sister-in-law, more nieces, another nephew, aunt, cousin, another cousin, his sister, plus my 4 kids and my wonderful husband.  We had so much fun and enjoyed every minute.  This was the first Christmas that we didn't have "tension" no fighting, no one not talking to us, my husband, his sister and our nieces went to church with us for the first time, IT WAS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!  It was the Christmas I had always dreamed of.  Even though it was a Dollar Tree Christmas it was PERFECT!!!!  The kids had tons of little gifts under the tree and they could care less about where it was bought.  They had such big smiles and everyone was happy. 

Now, to talk about the weight....  I went overboard.  At least I can admit that, before I would deny it!  I enjoyed myself and ate what I wanted but I don't feel bad.  I'm done feeling bad about what I put in my mouth because I know that I am going to do this weight loss.  I have hope now, I am happy, and I am ready.  One day or even 1 week of holidays are not going to sideline me.  It's not going to discourage me.  I'm going to enjoy, dance, sing, and be happy and look forward to a healthy life.  This time is so different, I don't feel guilty, I don't feel bad, like I said, I feel hopeful and excited. I will countinue to count my calories and get in any workouts I can.  Here's to changing my lifestyle!  I hope you have a wonderful last week of 2010, Merry Christmas to you all.
