Me NOW!!!!!
Well my story is just like most people that are over-weight. I'm 29 and I have been on the heavy side most my whole life. I have had dreams of being thin, not Skinny but a healthy weight for me and my body type. I have dealt with all the negativity that is related to being over weight (the name calling, the mean looks, the talking behind my back and much much more). I personally have just got to the point that a change has to take place. I have tried almost every diet, program, and pill to loss weight, I was very successful at one point with just eating right and walking I lost close to 70lb's. I managed to get down 185lb's WOW that felt so good to even be in the 100's, but a few years later, slacking off on working out and also getting pregnant, I was back a square one and gained it all back plus a few extra pounds. I look back at the pictures when I was smaller and can cry I was almost there and what happened. I have to make a change for good I can't continue this yo-yo trend. I see my daughter and I don't want her to be made fun of about her mommy's being FAT, plus I want to live healthy so I can teach her to live and eat healthy. She means the world to me and that is why I think I have took this step to change my lifestyle for GOOD.
