Hey there! I am new to this site, but very excited to start to take control over my life again. I am a divorce mom of a 10 year old boy (who is very active, tall, and loves to play any sport), and a 8 year old girl (who takes after her mother and has a belly and hates to sweat).
A little bit of history about myself: I had always been a very chucky girl. In middle school they used to call my Porky Pigs girlfriend. I lost alot of weight in high school and the start of college. After getting married little by little the weight returned and after 2 kids who weighed 10 pounds each, I am bigger than I ever was. 3 years ago I hired a personal trainer and lost 30 pounds. Well, those 30 pounds found their way back to me and brought along 10 of their friends. after taking pictures of myself I was appalled! The problem for me is I am a stress eater and I feel like I am always stressed. I am hoping this site and all of you can keep me honest and motivated to continue on!!!!
