Hello- I just wanted to let you know that because you are here (sparkpeople) and you are aware of healthy lifestyles and unhealthy, you will always strive for the better of the two, no matter what life throws at you- you will want to be healthy! And we are here to support eachother along the way- You CAN do it! We can all do it! Oh, and for anyone who eats a poor quality diet and doesn't exercise... well, the exterior doesn't show and scales don't measure our blood cholesterol, blood pressure, our happiness, our confidence, muscle mass, flexibility, bone density, stress levels... well, you get the drift! 4755 days ago

Welcome to Calling All Canadians - my name is Jenna and along with Dale I am a co-leader (the reason you can't see my profile pic is because right now I'm in Maui on a belated honeymoon and much deserved vacation). I am glad you came back but so sorry to hear that your efforts were sabotaged! Good luck on this part of your journey - enjoy! 4758 days ago

Hello and Welcome to BC SparkPeople. I read your page and can relate so much to your challenges when it comes to family. I gained my weight (mostly because I didn't have a scale to watch the gain) when I started going "steady" with the last boyfriend, he loved to cook dinner, and it would always be late (so I needed to nibble to keep the hunger wolfs at bay till dinner, so it was like having two dinners). When I started Sparks, I told him I couldn't do that anymore, this was the beginning of the end of our relationship. When my sister seen me during Christmas she told me I needed to gain weight (she is obese, and I knew when I lost my weight she would say that, because in the past she always did). I guess what I am trying to say is, don't let other people tell you how to be healthy. Living life is your choice as long as you are not hurting anyone. People want you to go their way, but it is your life. You have your own healthier lifestyle journey, and the detours are your choice. Anyway, where in Western Canada do you live? 4759 days ago
