Hello all, I am a 27 year old desperate to get back to the weight I was just over a year ago. I have a three year old daughter and in 2009 after her delivery I topped the scale at 155. If you fast forward a year later in 2010 I went through a horrible break up with my childs father which resulted in full on bridget jones. I had a complete semitruck of ben and jerrys followed by a water tower of white wine. After a few months I finally realized that food wasn't helping my feelings anymore....I WANTED TO GET BACK INTO THE DATING WORLD! So after a serious assessment in the mirror I realized I didn't even feel comfortable being naked in front of my cat. I had to do something so I decided to begin complete dieting overdrive. I shed 40 pounds over the course of the next year and felt unstoppable fluctuating between 115-120. LIFE WAS FUN AGAIN!
So then starting out 2011 I was humming a new tune, I felt amazing, and the bearded guy with sandals sent me my soulmate!! All was wonderful...but to my dieting demise, I happened to have been destined to be matched with a hispanic. Don't get me wrong, my love for him is beautiful but it didn't stop there. I then began an even greater love for the perfect enchiladas, tamales, and DON'T FORGET THE BEANS AND RICE! Between date night dinners, bars and 4th meals I packed on extra pounds easy. A couple of months ago I kicked the bar habit, only limit myself to chipolte in my dreams, and 4th meal thinking outside the bun is completely out of the equation. I am now really focused on being fit and this has led me here. I currently yo-yo between 130-135 and I would like to get back to where I know I feel most comfortable in my own skin (ideally a fit 120) If anyone out there is looking to lose ten pounds and needs a support system, or if you have some great dieting tips please add me!
