Well, I am a single mother of a perfect little boy. He is truly the light of my life and my savior. I have always considered myself athletic, that is up until a couple of months ago when I realized I had let my weight truly get out of control. I was never over 250 lbs, even though it was heavy for my size I was content. Now I am over 300 lbs. It kills me to think that if I don't do something now then my son will more than likely not have a mother.
I have PCOS, Sleep Apena and esophogitis. ALl of these problems are a result of my being over weight. Well the PCOS has contibuted its fair share to me being this way. Even though I have these problems, I cannot spend my life blaming outside forces for my habits, which are the true cause of this massive weight on my shoulders, literally.

My Three main goals are:
1. Stop Smoking on April 1, 2011.
2. Get my health under control.
3. Lose the weight that has been holding me back my whole life.

When Life gets hard, what do you do?
When life gets tough what do you do? I go swiming. and for a bike ride, and play with my kid. I grew up as an athlete, so now that I am as large as I am I cannot believe it. Simply put, any weight above 200 lbs is simply not acceptable for me. But one thing that I have learned is to love myself. I love who I am now. I love who I am becoming. But most importantly I love the journey of becoming the new me. Is it easy, no. Never could be easy. But this journey is going to shape the woman I want to be instead of just the woman I am today. I am strong, I am beautiful and I accept who I am. Each step, Each struggle, they each bring the goal closer. The goal of being the BEST I can ever be.
