Ok, about me. Let's see.
Well I have a long story to tell, so I will just pick it up from the here and now.
I'm 34 years old and I have 1 son and I've been married for 7 years. I'm originally from San Diego, California and I currently live in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. First thing people always say to me when I tell them that is, WHAT? WHY? That too is a long story and let's just say, I have been wishing I could move back home for the last 7 or 8 years. I hate the winter, I hate not being able to just go outside with out a jacket and I complain constantly about winter lasting WAY too long.
I'm overweight, obviously, I have been my whole life. I had difficulties growing up, I am the oldest of 6 kids and my parents weren't together by the time I turned 2. My mother and father both remarried and well, crap happens. I'm sure that SEVERAL things that happened in my life have contributed to my weight. Lessons unlearned have helped me make decisions as I've gotten older that didn't help my situation.
Now, I want to be different. I need to get out of this horrible funk that I'm in. I want to be able to just do and not just wish that I did. Before I moved to Wisconsin I was a different person and as each year has ticked on, I'm losing her bit by bit. I've gained over 100 lbs since I moved here. Something that I am not proud of at all.
Society today infuriates me. All those girls out there that are bigger as teens. If you are under 200 lbs, be happy with your body. Don't let people make you feel as if you are huge! YOU AREN'T! What I would give at this point in my life to be 180 lbs like I was in high school. At that time my step-father made jokes constantly about me having to go to Omar the Tent Maker for my clothes. GOOD GOD that was over 120 lbs ago for me.
It doesn't help that I am the ONLY one in my family that is obese. My little sister has been 120 lbs or less her whole life, except for when she was pregnant but then ZOOP right back to 115 lbs 4 months later. I must have drawn the freaking short straw.
Anyway, if you have words of encouragement for me, please pass it on. Little things every day are what I need to get through this journey. I'm hoping for the best!!
