Challenge #9 My accomplishment

by mamma2allboyzSep 23, 2006
This was a hard thing for me to scrap, I didnt even want to put and "old" picture of myself on paper. I have had a hard time going back and scraping old pictures, but I know I must do this because thats how I looked at the time. This challenge is very close to my heart, I enjoyed doing this, Thank you for this challenge.
My journaling...
Sometimes in life we fail so miserably at things, yet somehow we manage to pick up the pieces and move on in our lives. I have accomplished many things in my life so far, I have a beautiful family of four boys my biggest accomplishment by far. My biggest personal accomplishment to myself though has been to lose 75 pounds in 18 months. After having a failed marriage and four children back to back, I finally had to do something for myself. This has been the biggest struggle for me, with everything I have had to overcome I couldn’t do this one little thing, lose weight. I could do anything I put my mind to, but I couldn’t win the battle with my weight. I finally figured it out, I had to want to do it. So now that I have accomplished this goal, I know I am a better mother, friend, and person for this. Why because I love myself now and that is the best accomplishment anyone can do for their self.
Thank you for looking at my layout.

VN LO! I was just trying to figure out my greatest fear for the next challenge and considering that I just started WW and need to lose 100 pounds. After reading your LO, I know it is possible. So many good wishes to you. It is beautiful and so are you.
