It looks exactly like me! :-) Uhhg! My favorite take away from Oprah today was this: What am I really hungry for? Wow!! The flood gates were opened and hope restored. I'm excited!! Stephanie, thank you for sharing! I raise my Diet Coke on ice to you this evening... well, I guess it's really 12:30am -- and only a few more hours until I'm done with work for the night. Uhhg. I'm looking forward to your posts all week...and beyond. I LOVE the picture you selected to accompany your blog entry. It looks exactly like me! :-) Uhhg!

I was one of those people that Steph mentioned that called and told her that Oprah was directly speaking to me on her show today. The coincidence of the timing of today's show was uncanny. I've made some pretty big decisions for myself over the last three months (resigning from my job, getting ready to go back to school, etc.) and today was my first day of "freedom" and I loved it. I went to the gym. Ate three healthy meals (and even had a banana for a snack). I was healthy for the first time in a long time because I was actually making (and taking) time for myself. The last couple of months I haven't been exercising, or eating breakfast or lunch because I was busy or in a hurry. Then, one morning I woke up and realized I was living my life to make everyone else around me happy and in the process created a very unhealthy me who had little to no time to herself. What better time to get back to being me - healthy, quirky, and happy - than with Oprah and "The New White Oprah" ? I'm up for the challenge, anyone else?
