I am in the Navy, not just in the Navy but a Ordnanceman in the Navy. So your wondering what is that? Well basically I work with weapons and I am in a job that is constantly moving and there are not many of us ladies that do this job due to the amount of lifting. So basically I was fit... until I became sick and very depressed after loosing a child and being diagnosed with Endometriosis... I gained 65 pounds in eight months... I am at the biggest I have ever been.. I have started and stopped so many times this year.. and now my career is on the line.. going from being super active to almost a stop has rocked my world and stolen my fit body... I feel trapped inside and look at pictures of me like "that cant be me?" I just don't see that person reflecting back at me in the mirror... its time... time to loose the weight and time to let go of my sickness...

    What are you doing to make a difference? Do you have a workout regimen?

    yes I leave work at 1240 everyday for the past two weeks to work out.. I have lost over 15lbs so far.... I was super fit in 2013 and did modeling... I just never knew how seriously hard it was to come from being over weight to fit.. I do strength training everyday also.. its hard when all you want to do is snack!! I feel proud every time I pass on them though so its getting better.

    Yeah. Snacking is hard for me. The more I work out, the more I want to eat. Just hang in there. You're on the right track.

    What you have been through is horrific, and nobody should have to go through that. As hard as is you just have stay positive. Every time you pass on a little snack that's a victory in the bag and little bit more self belief and confidence. The fitter you get the more confidence you will gain, the more confidence you gain the greater the self belief. You can do it is all im saying !!
