My story...well, I was always a little chubbier than everyone else, and as a teen ager I was curvier and "thicker" then I wanted to be... I could never seem to be skinny even when I would go days without eating more than a rice cake. Then I got pregnant with my son Justin..I went from about 150 lbs to 195 and then I never got on a scale again :-) I had my daughet 4 years ago and now weigh in at a staggering 280...all i can remember is how fat I felt the first time I saw the scale hit 150, and how I swore I would never be close to 200 lbs...fooled me! I have a great hubby and 2 great kids (ok, they are great in theory, they fight all the time and pretty much drive me nuts, but the warrenty expires after a year, so I am pretty much stuck now) and a job, (notice I didn't say great job) at a busy surgery office and I really just want to start being a more active participant in the life I have built. We are at baseball 3 days a week for my son, and I always feel so out of place with the other moms because they are running and playing with the kids and full of energy...not me... I get winded watching them. But I am the funny mom, cause that has always been my saving grace. Well, I don';t wanna be the funny mom. I wanna be the hot mom...ok, I would settle for the cute mom. ANyway, I tend to ramble, I am looking for all the advice and support I can get and would love to make friends in the process.
