in Introduce Yourself
I am 33 and I have been unhappy with my weight since I was eight years old and a boy in my class decided to make my nickname Thunder Thighs. I have lost and gained hundreds of pounds and here I go again, trying to lose weight and get healthy.
A few years ago I lost 97 lbs, slowly I gained back over 100.
What makes this time different?!?!? Well, I really feel ready this time, my kids are a bit more independent and I have a great support system. I know that it has to come off slowly and I know that it is a lifestyle change not a temporary adjustment.
It is a scary journey but I am so ready for it!!
