Welcome to my first ever blog post!

Hello!  I'm new to the blogging world as a blogger, and relatively new, as a reader of blogs.  I've found that I really enjoy reading blogs about weight loss, and weight struggles.  I've had years of trials and tribulations as an obese female-- in a thin-loving world!  I now believe that my health and my life are paramount- and if my appearance improves along the way- I can live with that :)   I've followed several blogs for several months, and there are several I find inspiring.  (See my links.)  I hope to use blogging to help me stay focused on my weight loss journey. (More about that soon!)
