Trying it the right way this time!

Hi, I'm Melissa. I'm 35, I've struggled with my weight and self confidence for my entire life. At my heaviest I was 265 pounds. The thought of having my picture taken brought me to tears and I hated seeing myself in a mirror. I decided that it was time to do something about it. I'd like to say that I changed my lifestyle, etc.. but, I just walked A LOT. I dropped 100 pounds over the course of about a year and a half. Over the past year, with the help if 2 high maintenance teenagers, some laziness, and a high stress job, I've packed 40 pounds back on. This is completely devastating. While I'm nowhere near where I used to be, I'm not where I want to be either. I'm finding myself creeping back into my old frame of mind. Slowly losing confidence, cringing at the mirror, and turning my nose up at pictures. It's time for a true lifestyle change!!! I need support and motivation along the way, we all do. I'm a week in and I'm starting to feel better.
