About Me

 
Some how over the last 33 years I have allowed myself to get to almost 350 lbs! Today is the first day to the rest of my life. It is time for me to be accountable to myself and start living rather than being prisoner to my body! This is going to be a constant struggle for me but I know that I have good friends, family and God to help me along my journey.

I have been blessed with 2 wonderful boys they are almost 10 and 2.  With my first child I actually lost apprx. 60lbs – best diet I have ever been on.  With my second son I wasn’t so lucky although I only gained about 5 lbs but I have since gained another 20. 

I have been overweight all my life and just once I would like to know what it’s like to be one of the skinny witches (wink wink) us fat girls always complain about.  I am sick of the line “You have such a pretty face but…”.  I really believe that we need to accept ourselves and our children the way we are.  We lead by example.  If I don’t buy cookies not only will they not tempt me, but I am saving my children from an unhealthy lifestyle as well!  I don’t want either one of my children to end up where I am now!

My goal is to weigh 165lbs by my 35th birthday.  That comes out to a total weight loss of 185lbs in the next 19 months – in order to achieve this goal I will need to lose apprx. 9 lbs/month.  I don’t know if that is possible but I have to believe that it is.  Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!   

It is time to say Bye bye fat girl, hello world.  I have made up my mind this time and there is no turning back.  I am taking back my life starting today!
