I am now 30 years old.  I have been big all my life.  When i was a baby they called me cute and most people told my mom "she's so chunky i could eat her up", then when i was about 5 -10 people would say "oh she is just chubby, she will grow out of it", then around 13 people just told my parents, its the puberty stage she will blossom into a beautiful youg lady", then about 20 years old people would just tell me "its such a shame you are so big, you have such a beautiful face..... I know a diet you can try"  let me tell you the comments have just gotten ruder and meaner.  I had one church lady tell my mom, What's wrong with Teresa, doesn't she realize that she has to do something with her weight or that cute husband of hers is gonna find someone else"  my mom could'nt even speak she just walked away from her!

But time has passed and i am married to a wonderful man who has been with me through sickness and fad diet.  He has seen me lose 25lbs only to gain 30 back but always supporting me and loving me!  I have two very beautiful very cooky children who are the loves of my life.

I have a very supportive family my sisters are my best friends we fight, cry, nitpick, and love together and i wouldn't trade them for anything, they have always been there for me and I know that they always will be!

I have begun this journey and i won't stop now because of setbacks..................... I WILL PRESS ON!
