For the most of my adult life I have watch myself let go and find dumb excuses as to why I let my weight get out of control. Once I was done with college I began to gain some weight but, since I'm tall it wasn't so bad (at least that's what I told myself). Then I started dating and eventualy got married and became a stay-home wife.
As time went by I started to get bigger and since my husband loved me the way I was, I didn't worry about the extra pounds. Seven years later I got divorced and rescue myself with food and I gain a good 50 to 80 pounds.
A few years later on my birthday I took a good look in the mirror and realize I couldn't continue to let life pass me by. I needed to stop existing and start living so, I got up and said TIME's UP!!!
The last few months I have decided to work towards a new me who is healthy, happy, and full of life without regrets! I started to inquire about weight loss surgery and that path took me down towards a nutritionist and later on to a dietitian who provided me with tools and information to change my eating habits and activities.
In a nut shell thats me and the long road that brought me here to this "Fatsecret" to help archive my target. I am a friendly, caring, and sincere person. I love to laugh and have a good time with family and friends. I enjoy traveling which due to my weight it's on hold as it became sort of a road block. I am a very family oriented person who also loves kids. I have my faults like everyone else but, I consider myself to be a decent person all around.
Shadding off 200+ pounds is not going to be easy but, what ever surprises or challenges this path brings I'm sure I am going to have fun sweating off the pounds.
Love making new friends and I'm open to suggestions, I'm new here to the website so, please be gentle...lol Laugh, Live, Love
