I am the proud mother of 6 kids...5 girls and a boy. I am also married to an incredible man who is amazing and wonderful...that took me 4 marriages to say but I can honestly say it now! 4th time is a charm :) My weight issue started when 1. we started the process of adopting our son, and 2. I started getting older. I am 40 years old and my weight has always been pretty maintainable with exception after the twins were born. With the help of Weight Watchers and a divorce, I was able to lose the unwanted wait plus some. After beginning to date my current husband, I started to put back on a little but I needed to and I was at a healthy weight. Then, we received a call which ulitimately led to a 31 month process of adoption through CPS. A process I have never experienced. With the help of Maggie Moo's mint flavored ice cream with chocolate flakes for those stressful, and there were many, days...the weight appeared and refused to leave. By age 39, I felt a problem. I started Weight Watchers again...unsuccessfully. I started walking...didn't help much because of busy schedules and inconsistencies. So, here I am...trying FatSecret in hopes of finding support and resources to help me get to where I need to be.
