In the past year, I graduated from law school, passed the Michigan State Bar Exam, found a job as a new attorney, and got married. During this time, I was attempting to lose weight, but with all the stress it seems to have backfired. I am now the heaviest I have ever been and I am embarking on a journey to lose about 127 pounds.

When I am not working, I enjoy reading, traveling, scrapbooking, biking, walking, and spending time with my pets. Food has also been a hobby. I enjoy cooking and trying new and different things, but I this hobby will have to become much more controlled.

I'm ready to shed this extra person I have been carrying around for the past 10 years. I'm ready to shop in normal stores for clothing. I'm ready to be healthy and to not have this guilt of being obese with me every second of the day. I'm ready to take back my life and enjoy every moment of it with my new husband.
