Why I do this

Day 38

Super Bowl Sunday is a big deal at my house. We have a big party every year. If my math is correct I believe this is our 19th annual soiree.

For the most part, the food is always the same. I make Chili. This year, it was made with 97% lean ground beef and I'm sure no one noticed, which is a good thing.

I am lucky in that I have  lot of people in my life who love me and are supporting me in my efforts to get healthy. This post is all about them. (at least the ones that were here today.)

 

These are my girls Gina (left) and Lori (right). They keep me honest. They'll listen to my crap. But, they won't hesitate to call me on my crap either.

My sisters in law (from left) Robin, Me, Kelly, Julie. Beautiful women, who all know the joys of being married to Angell men. They are the best you could ask for.

My niece Maddie. Next best thing to having a daughter of my own.

Last, but certainly not least. Tony, the love of my life. He's made a point this weekend to make sure that I've made time to exercise and eat when I'm supposed to.

These are just a few of the people who make this journey possible. I am secure in the knowledge that if I stayed this weight forever they would still love me. But, because they love me, I have the strength to become who I want to be for me.

Thank you!

Cheers!
