A Failure's Journey to Success: Taliah Hope

A couple posts back, I announced the birth of Taliah Hope Muyaba. In that post, I alluded to prayers answered and the fact that I had been with Kathryn the entire time.

If you are interested in reading about the experience, the answered prayers, and evidence that I can be extremely opinionated at times, go to this link for my "Musings from Me" blog.

Feel free to leave a note if you visit me there!

Introducing Me

I am a 53 year old wife/mother/grandmother. I am 5'3" tall. On December 12, 2007 I hit bottom. In spite of my "efforts", I had gained 5 pounds in the previous month, bringing me up to my all time high of 253.0 lbs. I felt so hopeless.....and desperate. I had spent most of my life hating my body and trying almost every diet out there, only to gain back whatever I lost - and then some. I realized, at this low point, that I deserved a better life than the one I'd been giving myself. I made a decision....to begin the journey that would eventually take me to a place where I was happy with my body and where I did not feel like a failure in that respect. This blog is at least a part of my story....as I go along. I hope others will join me, will become my companions on this road to success. UPDATE.....As of April/11 I have gained back most of what I lost during the journey described above. So, I am beginning again. This is why my blog is entitled "A Failure's Jouney to Success".......I've started and 'failed' so many times and have often felt like a total failure because of it. BUT I have hope, still.....in spite of all the 'failures' that I WILL get to that elusive place where I can say I have 'succeeded'. In fact, I've proven to myself that I don't have to get to the goal to feel like a success - I only have to be taking consistent steps in that direction and pass a few milestones along the way.
