Danielle_24
I am a 24 year old mother of two and wife to a wonderful loving husband, three in a half years now. I always wanted to try and tell myself that I wasn't that big, and in my mind it worked. I would go to store and be sooooo sure that something would fit me...... to find out it was way to small. I eventually stopped shopping, and when asked to go, would in my defense say I disliked shopping........ I only really disliked my body.
I noticed aches, pains and began developing minor issues, like heartburn and such. I thought I was healthy! I am sure I am over weight but I exercise regularly and get all my vegies(plus some) and , and, and...... I finally had a veil lifed from my eyes, I seen my BMI, realized my issues were weight induced and needed a fix before it got out of hand!
I needed to do it for myself, my kids I want to be healthy, no more swollen ankles, and pains. I wan to feel good and comfortable in my own skin. I want to be there for my kids, be an example of what to be, not what not to be.
Although I am writting this ealry on in my story I know I will succeed, b/c I want to sooooo badly. And I will never go back to the big me....... I want to find that beautiful woman inside of me that I know God put there!
