My Story......I'm a 26 Year Old female living in New York.I really didn't start gaining weight until i was  about to graduate from 8th grade and from then on the weight just kept on coming.My mom and the rest of my family tried to get me to stop  from eating and they warned me that i would get bigger but i didn't listen,I kept on eating whatever i felt like. Then my sophomore year of high school i got really sick and  my mom had to come and pick me up from school.That weekend was my first time joining Weight Watchers.When we went to Weight Watchers  i weighted in at 375 I was 15 years old.I started  following the program and  I was doing very well,Then my mom stop going and because i was still mommy's little girl I stop going too.After that i tried countless other diet,You name i tried  it (Grapefruit diet,Soup Diet,South Beach Green Tea,Slim Fast,Shakes,Low Cal Etc) When nothing seem to work i just gave up.I tried Weight Watchers once again this time it was back in 2005 and i had no idea how much i weight.When i went to re-start again  i go on the scale and this time it said 440.4....WTF are you serious ,That had to be wrong,I can't be that big,I don't look it.Within 7 weeks i was down 25 pounds and i thought that i was doing really good.Then i got tired of meeting and i figured that i could do it on my own and i was doing well then i stop.In 2008 i started my OWN plan and i started walking two days a week and working out 4 days a week  and cutting back on the junk and watching my starch intake lots of water,fresh fruits and veggies and i was rocking things out.I lost a lot of inches cause i went down from a 30/32 in jeans to a 28.
Let's fast forward to 2011 and i knew that i had to do something about my weight seriously so March 7th 2011 I rejoined Weight Watchers but this time i was doing it online and when i step ont he scale it read 472.1,I was in shock that i was that close to 500 pounds,So i kicked things into high gear even joined a gym and i was following the program to the "T" and i was losing extremely slow but i was still losing,Then all of a sudden no matter what i did staying within my points and working out the weight started to creep back.So because i knew that my insurance company requires a 6 month supervisor diet i stayed with it.When i was younger i admit that i had my moment where i was dealing with my own self esteem issues but the older that i got ,I realized shit I'm pretty than most of the girls walking around.I know my head is kind of big.I mean i still have my off days then again who don't.I just realized that i couldn't let my weigh stop me from doing things that other girls my age was doing.So when i got to college that's when everything started to change for me  and that's when my "DIVA" showed up.I just started enjoying myself and going out more,Lots more partying and just doing things that people in there 20s do.I use to shy away from pictures when i was younger now when there is a camera around you better believe that I'm in the shot.There are a few things that my weigh has stop me from doing and that is wearing smaller clothes and going back to six flags,I haven't been to six flags in years and that's because i know that i cant fit the ride.So why even go and put myself out there when i already know the truth.Let me just get one thing clear I in no way want to be SKINNY,I just want to be a healthier version of me.I know that might be hard for some people to believe but its true.I would love to get down to a size 16 or a 14.I think that would be a good look for me,I like my curves i just want less of them.

I'm on an everchanging journey,I know that i'm going to hit bumps in the road but i know that my faith in god will get me pass anything.
