So, here goes nothin'.I'm a Nova Scotian, 30 years old, mother to a little girl and I weigh 522lbs. This is my first crack at blogging and I'm not aware of the etiquette, so I'm basically just going to use this as a kind of public diary.

To this day, this lady is only slightly overweight and BOTH of our mothers are even larger than they were in 1989 when we first met.
Junior high came and my family moved yet again to a larger town. I was incredibly self-conscious about my weight by this age and was the kind of girl that would cover myself head to toe; usually in jeans and some kind of movie or comic t-shirt. In retrospect, I was a very pretty girl, but if anyone had told me that then, I would have assumed they were making fun of me.
