I'm a 34 year old mother of two boys (8 & 6). I'm originally from Toronto, Ontario but moved to the States 11 years ago after I met my husband in New York. I don't recall being a big child but started to put on weight slowly by the age of 9 or 10 and of course was the butt of jokes well into my grade school years. I never really tried dieting until I was a teenager but was never succesfull. When I turned 22 I finally had a real job and a little money so I decided to join Jenny Craig and was ecstatic when I was able to lose about 100lbs in a year. It was Jan. 2007 and I made a promise to myself that this year would be different and I was going to enjoy my new self and enjoy life. That was the year I met my husband through a friend and It was love a first sight. I pretty much yo yo'd with the same 15lbs for about 2 years until I got pregnant and gained about 70lbs or so with my first son and when I had my 2nd 2.5 years later I was at my highest ever. About 1 1/2 after giving birth to my second child I started dieting again on my own using various techniques like weight watchers, Atkins, Slim Fast etc. I was able to lose about 50lbs or so but than I guess I got tired of dieting and slowly gained the weight back until now I'm at my all time heaviest ever. I'm lucky to have an understanding husband who is by my side totally and has loved me thin & large. I can't wait to begin the next chapter of my life.
