Hi, My name is Deborah I am 25 years old. I have been over weight since I was about 12 years old But I have decided that no more. I reached 195 this year after having my second daughter and find that looking in the mirror just makes me cry and really depressed. There where days where all I would do is eat. I spent more time in the kitchen then I spent anywhere in the house. I felt like a pig. Then a friend offered to walk with me since she has a lot of weight to lose as well. Since we live in Michigan there is not much of summer her and that sounded like a great idea. I took that as a stepping-stone and we began walking. we now mall walk every morning 6 days a week for 2 hours. since then I feel better about everything in my life. I do have great expectations of my self and are sometimes impatient to see the results.
The thing is, so many have told me that it would not be possible for me to achieve my goals because they are so extreme and my age and the fact that I had two girls are not working in my favor. But I am here to prove to myself and to them that I can do it. Because when I want some thing I GET IT.
