in Introduce Yourself
My name is Tonya. I’m a 42 year old mom of an almost pre-teen as he calls himself, LOL! I have a 9 year old son, my one and only pride and joy.
I live in Illinois, work at home as a bilingual medical interpreter and run the house with my mom.
I am in a relationship with my son’s father; we’ve been together for 10 years.

I have few hobbies: gardening, reading and cooking. I enjoy walking and working out (when I do go), swimming, and watching NFL football GO PACK GO!!! :heart:

I started the MFP a couple months back but have not been very faithful or consistent with ot. It was only until yesterday that I was in Cacique and I was told that they could not fit my size that I realize I have a real problem with food and weight issues
I had a lap band in 2010 and it has been a failure for me because although I lost over 100# I ended up gaining most of it back and I even switched surgeons and hospitals in a desperate attempt to get help with the band. So I am going back and forth with it, not too happy with the adjustments and the fact that he (the doctor) likes stabbing me without numbing medication for the adjustments.
Right now I am on the vegan bandwagon. I don’t like meat in any form, I’m not too partial to eggs anymore and milk is and always has been gross to me. Sorry my meat and bacon lovers but you can keep your meat, LOL!!!

I was born in the beautiful state of Wisconsin and I love my home state. I hope to go back home someday.

Feel free to add me to your friends list. Nice to meet you all!

    I haven't been on here for a long time so if you just joined my friends list and are looking for some vegan ideas in my diary, I don't have much to offer yet. Just started August 01 but haven't posted anything on here, sorry.

    Hi tonya! I am also 42 with a nine year old boy. I also have an eight year old daughter. She keeps asking me when I'm going to lose enough weight to fit in the clothes at her favorite boutique here in town. The truth stings, but that's why I'm here.

    My son just called me a hippo in front of his friends the other day. I was so hurt and I couldn't even punish him for telling the truth but he got grounded for being a smart *kitten* in front of his friends

    Well, I made the mistake of telling her we couldn't shop there because I didn't fit in their clothes, but that I was working on it. So now, she's just using my words against me. Not maliciously, but still........ I guess I should give her a date so that she can hold me to a specific goal.
