It's about time.

Hello friends, strangers and whoever else may be reading! Welcome to my journey. I'm a 31 year old opera singer who has been on the journey of a lifetime since Sept. 21, 2009. It was that day that I decided enough was enough and took charge of my life. I decided once and for all to stop allowing food to run my life, and to finally shed the weight that had been holding me back for years. It's been a little more than 9 months since that fateful day, and I've lost almost 80 lbs. I've hit a few plateaus, both natural and Kellymade. :-) But I haven't let any setback derail my progress this time around. I've always been heavy, and mostly had settled for it. I figured I'd be that way forever, having watched my family gain and lose enough weight to create a few more family members over the years. I never thought I'd have the willpower, nor the outside support to accomplish my goal. Boy, was I stupid. I wasted a lot of time being unhealthy. Now is the time to reclaim my life and be who I was always meant to be. I'm hoping that this blog will inspire someone, just as I've been inspired by many people along the way. Thanks for the support and enjoy the read!
