I've always considered myself a bigger girl. I was raised in a rural community, in the country, raising pigs for 4-H. I grew up much more a tomboy than a girlie girl, and in some ways I still am. I was the girl in school that was everyone's friend, but no one's girl friend. I always thought it was because I was fat. Looking back now at photographs of me, I would do anything to be that size again, and I am. I think that the weight started to come on the most, when I left for college. I had a boyfriend back at home (now my husband), and I was never a person to do any hard college partying. So sedentary life set in, and I started to gain weight. Well life continues, college is over, work begins, and several unsuccessful attempts at weight loss ends with not loss but usual frustrations and eating normally again and gains. There are lots of times that I berate myself and the weight gain for being a failure at having children, but that mostly went away after my Husband and I decided to be parents, and adopted our son in July of 2006. He is the reason, I want to get in better health. He is our joy (and our exhaustion), and I want to be able to do all kinds of fun things with him as he grows up. I truly am a leaner more active person in this big heavy suit. Everyone says to put a goal on the refrigerator, and I did last week. My friend went on vacation to Mexico last year. She took tons of pictures of them doing the zip line tour. THAT IS MY GOAL!! I want to go to mexico with my family and do the zip line tour. So here's to zippin' my way to a healther me.
