Never been thin

Hi I am a 31 year old mother of two.....I have never in my life been what most people would call thin. For the longest time I thought that is what held me back in my weight loss endeavors. I have discovered that I was just afraid of myself.....I know shocking right! I discovered this by doing some soul searching and discovered that I had been blaming others for my lack of losing instead of the real cause....ME. I think I am ready now to meet the real me, step out of the shadow so to speak. I am no longer afraid to face the facts and get real!
