Day 1.

it's almost the 9 year anniversary of my injury which stopped me from ballet. many factors lead to the weight gain...no need to reahash...all i know is i need to be healthy again (mostly, i would luv not having the 24/7 back pain from gaining all this weight) and get strong enough to ballet dance once more. 9 wasted years to recover!

i will do it!!!

thanks to everyone who left such encouraging notes! :hug (isabeau, plnorvee, cleochatra, sabrinaN, jade, and tabekat). u guys don't know how much it meant to me to receive support.

i was feeling really discouraged yesterday, wondering how i had let my body gain 60 pounds over the past 2-3 years and then more discouraged thinking about how long and how hard it will be to come off. then i checked the message board and saw your posts and before/after pictures and it cheered me right up. :icondance
