Ok - here goes...........the good the bad and the ugly! hahaha
We'll I am 38 years old..........and probably the 'youngest' 38 year old you'll ever meet. I hope to be a HOTTIE on my 40th Birthday to once again reclaim the "Hottie" Status!!!!
Born and Raised in California. In May 2005 we moved to Texas and we LOVE IT HERE!
Met my husband in 1991 and fell in loved (met him cruzing) and married in 1993!
I was never fat - never had any weight issues or even really gave weight a second thought from ages 0 to 25 - then for the last 13 years it feels like that it's the NAGGING thing in my head. Sometimes it's in the front of my mind and sometimes it's the furthest, but it's a pretty much constant for 13 years.
I'm tired of it. I'm sick and tired of being ..........sick and tired!
I'm starting to FEEL the strain of this extra 120 lbs on my 5'5" frame. I'm pretty active for being the size that I am, but I man, how I would love not to need 2 days to recoup from a vacation or an event - and I don't mean because it's too much drinking - i don't really drink it's my body that just ACHES.
So from the birth of my daughter in 1993 I have proceed to climb from 140lbs (post pregancy) to 255 lbs as of TODAY 10/9/07. My absolute highest. I also have a son he was born in 1996 - so I have a 13 year old Freshman in High School (fun) and an 11 year old 5th Grader (he's a sweetie) and of course both are EXTREMLEY active! I am not the 'kids best friend mom' I am their mother - however, as my kids say, I'm GOOFY! and I love to laugh!
My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and my son has his Brown belt in Karate/Mixed Martial Arts and wanting to earn his Black Belt..........so what an example I am huh? Both of my kids are in shape and I am faaaaaaaaaaar from it!
I would like to take Karate classes someday, when I have lost about 100 lbs - but seriously, I would like to that and Kickboxing!
Of course I've tried it all - Weight Watchers, MediFast - etc...
I don't eat any differently if I am happy and if I am upset or stressed, I don't eat (which of course is bad too) - it's my food CHOICES, times of day I eat, etc..... of course my portion sizes are not right.
My husband is also contemplating having LapBand and if he does it will be after my procedure so we can do this one at a time and be there for eachother.
So, all that said - LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
