I have always been chubby.  I was thin only until 2nd grade.  I used to look at those old school photos and wonder why it happened.  I have overcome a lot of things in my life.  I feel that low self esteem contributed greatly to my weight being what it was when I was younger.  Emotional and physical abuse also affected me in my teen years.  My family has always been big eaters.  Meat, potatoes and bread.  Both of my parents and three of my grandparents all suffer or suffered from Diabetes and/or Heart Disease.  If I do not take care of myself now, I will be in the same boat.  I have to tell myself I can do this everyday.  I will do this not only for me, but for my little girl and my husband.  I want to be active, I want to run and jump and play with my little one.  I want horses and to plant a garden.  I want to take a walk outside without sweating my butt off and huffing and puffing.  I am doing this for so many reasons and I will never go back to the way I was.  For all you out there struggling with this disease I want you to know that someone knows how you feel, and I wish you all the best.
