Hi there! I’m an almost 43 year old mama of twin toddler boys who has gained 20 pounds since their birth. My weight is not baby weight, it’s ‘I’ve been eating my emotions’ weight.

My husband and I struggled with infertility for years and finally have the family we always dreamed of. I want to be healthy and set a good example for my little dudes. Most importantly it’s time for me to practice some self care.

I also want to overcome my sugar addiction. If it’s creamy, rich or chocolate’y, I want it. I’m trying to curb my cravings for sweets by having alternatives like Medjool dates stuffed with natural peanut butter or an apple. And I’m not adding extra sugar to my food or my tea. It’s tough but I’m tougher!

I’d like to lose 15 pounds by our 15 wedding anniversary which is at the end of June. Here’s to making progress slowly and safely!
