my past year

Options
Well I am 25, I am a single mother with one 4 year old. The past year I have gained about 50lbs. I went from 140lbs to 188lbs. It isn't much fun. I had to buy a lot of new clothes because they were all too small. I am serious of weight loss now because I feel I have overcome my emotions and can handle them better. No more emotional eating. This is my second day of my new life and I have already lost 5 lbs somehow. I take a gallon of water with me to work and try to drink as much as I can. I do not like to eat any type of meat and I am going to limit my dairy and fat intake. My goal is to eat a lot of fruit and vegtables and carbs, but not a lot. Thanks for reading.
