Journey to My Prime

Hey everyone,

My name is Tiffany. I have three kids and am engaged to be married. I am a full-time student and work at a nursery and take care of someone with Alzheimer's one day a week. 5 years ago, I was a vegan and 142 pounds. During my pregnancy with my daughter, my job didn't have anything vegan to eat and I started doing dairy and then meat again. I also went through a break-up during that time, and with my anxiety about raising three kids alone I pretty much just let go. After I had her I just kept putting more and more weight on. I was unhappy. When I got up to 185, I started working out again, but I did not correct my eating habits. I lost 10 pounds but gave up again after another break-up. I used to have a habit of dating people that were not well suited for me.

Two years ago, I was 214 pounds. I got down to 203, but I was basically starving myself which of course didn't last. I got in another relationship with an old friend. We are great together and very happy. We were both chubby kids and put on about 30 pounds each when we got together, eating rich food. I got up to 238 pounds. A few months ago, we started talking about how we were unhappy with our weight and wanted to get healthier and more active. I have lost 4.2 pounds so far and am starting to feel a lot better. The junk food cravings are subsiding and I've noticed I am drinking a lot more water again.

I know I can lose the weight, because I have lost a lot of weight in the past. But I always did it too fast and didn't commit to a lifestyle change. This time for some reason, I feel differently. Maybe it's that approaching 30th birthday. One thing I am noticing too, is that by adding friends on here, I am a lot more motivated because I feel some accountability. So all that to say, add me if you like. I really enjoying communicating with people who understand, are motivating, and are all trying to get healthier together.
