I'm a 40 year old mom of 3 with an office job and a busy household. We have 7 horses, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. In order to keep everyone fed and cared for, I work a second job waiting tables.
My lowest weight ever was 102 pounds when I was in college. I ate junk food every hour more or less and had a drinking problem. But apparently, drinking problem = skinny for me.
My heaviest weight was 180 which I reached just before I came here when I started a new eating plan. I can't call it a diet because I am eating constantly now. I gained 8 pounds the first week while my body got used to food.
Previously, I would either deny myself food as a punishment for being fat, or overeat out of frustration when starving only made the scale go up. My metabolism is a total mess. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
I want to get healthy in a way that I can sustain and change how my body is processing the food I eat. The first step is to journal, and that's how I found this place. So here I am and I hope that by this time next year, there is less of me here. LOL!
