Starting over takes years

Starting over takes years guys, i just realized this. I had just made the decision to go natural about a year ago and i'm nine months post big chop, which is cutting off all your permed hair in order to have your natural hair. I have seven inches in the front (whoop whoop !) and five in the back. That's only because the lady i went to cut my hair that way (rolls eyes) but anyway i'm making progress. Today I've decided to lose about 15-20 pounds. I joined this new site called MyFitnessPal and so far it is a great community of people looking to better themselves. I just finished a FREE kickboxing session through Mag Rack, which is free through cablevision. I was drenched in sweat but i was impressed because the program was free but helpful. I look forward to wearing tank tops and shorts this summer. I just have to keep my eye on the goal. This change also carries over in to my personal life, for as long as i can remember i have always been in a relationship, this is the first time I've been single for anymore than 2 months. It is definitely new and taking some getting use to but i know it is the best for me. I have my lonely moments where i just want a man's arms around my waist telling me everything is going to be OK, but then i have my liberated moments where i feel free and can tackle anything. I know becoming the woman i want to be will take years but i'm willing to take invest the time and take the initiative in becoming this woman, and from the looks of it she is going to be strong, wonderful and beautiful.
