New and Determined

For most of my life, I have been "different" when it comes to the Body. I have always been tall and for the LONGEST time, I had the HARDEST time finding clothes. The major issue, besides being tall, was that, I Guess it was thought that if you were tall, you also had to be thin! I so was NOT thin!! I wasnt heavy but, I was by far NOT thin!! So, I struggled and even slouched a bit! BUT, I soon found myself and learned to deal with those body image issues. I lsot weight for my brother's wedding about 10 years ago and was so very proud of myself. THEN, I got into a relationship and let HIM run our eating habits and gained most of it back. ONce we separated, I didnt keep with that "diet" but, I also didnt help myself either. I just kinda bounced around within the same 20 lbs. THEN, i found the Love of My Life...we decided to get married and both went on Weight Watchers to lose weight! I was SOO happy, I lost almost 35 lbs, about 10 before we started, and was the "thinnest" I had EVER been. Then, we had a baby!!

My daughter is now 9 mos old and I have decided that I will NOT be one of those woman that blames their weight on having children...10 years down the road!!! I want to get BACK down to my Wedding WEight PLUS lose more and get healthy again!! There is a possiblity for another child down the road but, I would like to "recover" weight-wise from this child first! PLUS, if I get Healthy enough, there may not be as much of a problem to lose it again next time!! It is going to be difficult because the $$ isnt there for the Weight Watchers but, I have a feeling this site will help just a much!!

My biggest issue is FOOD!! I LOVE FOOD!!! I guess that is the Italian & Greek in my but, i LOVE all kinds of food!!! SO, I just have to CURB the thinking and move more toward Healthier options!!!!
