I am 20 years old, 5'2" and about 164 lbs. I have never really dieted or counted calories in my life but I have never really enjoyed eating... I think part of why I am where I am now is a result of not wanting to eat as a child and constantly hearing "Are you aneorexic?" and "You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive". Beileve it or not constantly hearing that you are too skinny can have adverse effects just like hearing you are too fat. Thanks to not really having a desire to eat it is pretty easy to stick to a diet of 1200-1400 calories a day though so hopefully come July when my husband, daughter and I go to the beach I'll be able to wear a bikini without being self conscious.

I've been married to my wonderful husband, Matt, since June 13, 2008 (yes that was a Friday the 13th). And our beautiful baby girl, Noelani, was born on April 24, 2009. She is my greatest achievement in life and I am so blessed to be able to stay home with her. It is the hardest but also the best job I've ever had.
