I have struggled very early in my young adulthood to stay within a certain weight. While I lived overseas I somehow always maintained my weight between 120 to 135lbs. But ever since I finally moved back to the states, it became a real struggle, climbing to my biggest to 190 lbs. After my 2 pregnancies, I managed to stabilize my weight just around 165 to 170 lbs, and excersicing, but lately I the face of extreme stress both at home and work, I have to admit that it has gotten out of control. I refuse to go over 180lbs again. I will be 38 in a few days, I know what I should eat, not eat, the proper portions. Heck, I even enjoy working out, and could jog for 45 mns without blinking once. So what is my problem? No more excuses. I Do Not Want to wake up again and frown at myself. Along with necessary changes in my profession, friendships, choices, relationships, I must work on me first. The rest will fall into place. It starts with sharing this, something I also never thought I would do on line with anonymous support I hope to rely on.
