MY QUOTE: Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!

I have been happily married to my wonderful husband, Vito, for 23 years. We have three beautiful daughters, ages 22, 19 & 17 years old. I am trying to lose 20 lbs to be healthier and feel better. My goal weight is 124 - 120 lbs.

Unfortunately, my little black and white Chihuahua, Peanut, recently passed on 9-21-09. I miss him and think of him every single day. I also have two cats; Baby is a 3 year old black male, and Mittens (Mitzi), is a 1.5 year old white female. They miss Peanut equally as much as I do, and each still look for him and take turns sleeping in his crate. I honestly believe that pets grieve too! Both cats were strays and we brought them into our home to complete our family. They were Peanut's best friends!

LW: 95
CW: 144
GOAL: 124 - 120

I can be your best friend, or your worst enemy...
I believe respect is earned
I always see the glass as being half full
I cannot stay mad at someone for a very long time, because it is a waste of my time and energy
I believe my time is a valuable commodity
I don't sweat the small stuff
I choose my battles carefully
I will fight until the end for something I believe in
I'd rather be happy than right
My family is my life
Peanut, Baby and Mitzi are my "four-legged children"
I will not tolerate being ignored
I will forgive, but never forget
I am a strong woman, but I am also very sensitive
I have lost many loved ones in my life, and it still hurts like HELL
To those that I have lost: you are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
Don't ever tell me "life goes on". I am well aware of that...this is something I will never get over, but will somehow get through, no matter how long it takes!
With the recent events that have occurred in my life, I am more to myself and quiet than before. I know I am still grieving.
I am obsessed with reading TDP diaries and I am so glad to have found this site!
I love spending time with my family and would kill if someone hurt them.
I love my husband deeply and he is my best friend
I thought the hardest thing in my life would be raising my daughters, but I now know the hardest thing is letting them go.
"A mother gives her children two things: roots and wings"
"A mother hold her childs hand for a little while, but holds their hearts forever..."
-Daddy, you would be proud of me
- I miss you Mom and Dad -
- Peanut, you were my little "son" and showed me how to open my heart and love unconditionally. You were so loyal and protected me with your life. My heart is broken and feels empty. You were the best gift I had ever received. Rest in peace my little Pip!.
