hello fellow human beings on the journey,

i hope this message finds you all in peaceful spirits. i am new to myfitnesspal.com and i am looking for a community of people to support and people who are open to supporting me as well.

my journey toward wholeness and personal awareness has been invigorating, heart-breaking, frustrating and enlivening. i'm sensitive and i'm learning not to "eat my emotions" as one would say. when i feel nervous or sad, i use chocolate/sweets as my comfort. that's my weakness that i will one day transform into a strength. i teach middle school spanish and so my sensitivity makes me really great with the little ones.

alright, if you feel called, i am happy to be your cyber fitness buddy :)


buena suerte,

she*bah

    My name is Diana Speters, 21 year old mother of 4... Ya I know what you're all thinking, 4 kids at 21? But I'm not your stereotypical teen mom...I graduated high school a year early, just graduated college in October 2011, and am going back in the fall.... also have been married for almost 4 years now. I have 4 babies, but only 3 are at home with me... My second child was born to me stillborn on June 5th, 2008 at 33 weeks gestation. Losing my son was the most painful thing and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...While I would give anything to have him here with me today, I know that if he were, I wouldnt have my 2 year old little boy or my 2 month old little girl right now. So, its a bittersweet sacrifice :(
    I have been overweight my whole life... I am currently slightly under 100 lbs overweight, or at least I think... I'm not sure what the ideal weight for someone at 5'4" is...I'm 233 so regardles, I know thats not good! I have tried what seems like absolutely everythign with not avail!! But, so far, I really love this website and it has help point in the right direction. Only time will tell if its working though right?
    I wish all of you the best on your weightloss journeys and am here to help in anyway I can!

    hi mama :)

    you've certainly got ambition! when i read that you were 21 with four children i didn't think anything negatively -- partly because i'm latina and we have huge families and also because i feel children are a blessing. i don't have any myself yet, but i work with children on daily basis and i see how much their presence is a gift. i have been over weight most of my life too :) the last six years have been better in that my weight has not fluctuated as much, but i definitely still have self-destructive patterns that i want to work on. i'm delighted to be in your network of support. and congrats on your marriage. my wife and i married five years ago and deciding to marry has been one of my most intelligent, beautiful and difficult -- soul-growing journeys ever.

    bless bless*
