Hello!

Gualirix

Well, I am here to introduce myself. I am originally from the Caribbean islands - Puerto Rico to be precise. I have always been extremely small and healthy. I would exercise often and the food I ate was always healthy, until I left home and went to college. I was still eating healthy, but then about six years ago, I began struggling with my weight.

I sank into a horrible period of depression after my husband was deployed two weeks after our wedding. My depression worsened when I went to the doctor with acute pain on my lower abdomen only to find out that I'd miscarried. Being away from my family - since he is a soldier in the army - I didn't have anyone to turn to. I still ate the same amount of food, but didn't exercise.

I gained 20lbs in the last five years. I am no longer depressed and I have slowly - with my husband's help - picked up the pieces of my life. I want to become the person I was a long time ago. She isn't gone, just hiding in a dense smoke curtain. I want to bring her back and be healthier! It's time to open the curtains and let the light shine in.
