I am 51 years old. Always wanted to be a star. I guess those were not God's plans...I'm not a good singer, I'm not tall and skinny....I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I am blessed with a beautiful family. In the year 8 months I've gone from 200 lbs to 150....I hope that by the end of the year, I've lost to my goal weight, 125 lbs. I started exercising again this year...I don't mind growing old, but I do mind being an ugly old lady, so I work hard to maintain myself good the best I can. I've lived life to the fullest and have had wonderful times travelling and partying to the max...but, life is better now. I dedicate it to my work (paralegal) and my family. I love gardening, although, I have just killed all my plants in my garden with this fertilized I bought. I use to travel a lot, but life has taken a toll on our profession and we've suffered due to the economy, but I'm hanging in there. I have 3 dogs and a cat. I live in a beautiful home, but I have no idea how long I'm going to be able to afford it. My hope is to keep it. My husband bought it for me on our 10th wedding anniversary and even carried me through the threshold and we cut a ribbon together. I don't know what God's plans are, but I accept whatever they are. I have to turn my will and life over the care of God on a daily basis, otherwise, I'd screw eveything up. So I'm very thankful to have the faith to believe that there is a higher power to take care of me. I'm a caregiver and I worry about everything!
