Well, I thought it was about time to write my success story. I am not quite finished, but ALMOST there.

So, here it goes.

I weighed a good 430 lbs (give or take) in 2008-2009 after having my 2nd child. Being ill, because of my obesity, and causing problems with my pregnancy, I decided it was time to change. For the better, of course.

In I had lost over 100 lbs that first year, and doing great. But, my eating was HORRIBLE. Terrible even. Imagine a whole box a BETTER Cheddars GONE, or a whole box of macaroni and cheese. Yupp...That was horrid. I was working 2 jobs, being a single mom, etc..so that took a lot of energy along with that, aha.

Still kept going, and losing. THEN--I met my boyfriend at the time, Rob...Everything went downhill. I stopped working, working out, and eating habits went even worse. I became an emotional eater, and gained over 50 lbs...:'(

January 1, 2011 I decided to take THAT step (we all know what that step is?) My New Year's Resolution. Mhm, decided to take that change. I am now happy to say, I am 15 lbs from my ORIGINAL weight before babies...And, I love myself even more, am much more happier me. :)
