OK...so a little about me. I'm married to Jon, for 12+ years now. I have four daughters. Krystina 21 and Megan 19, both from a previous marriage; AND Emily 10 and Amy 8 with, Jon. I've been primarily a stay at home mom since Emily was born. Now, I am going to school in the fall to study Medical Assisting. I'm VERY excited!
I've been over weight all my life. Just a little chubby as a child, but being the ONLY chubby kids in the neighborhood, I was relentlessly teased. Therefore I thought I was a huge social misfit! I've always used humor to compensate for my lack of self esteem. Although I'm still full of humor, I can be very serious as well. I didn't get seriously fat until my senior year of high school where I breached 220 pounds!
This past February 23, 2010, Jon and I joined Weight Watchers together. This has been a very important part of my journey. I weighed in at 269.4 lbs - 2/23/10. As of 6/1/10 I weighed in at 234.8 - a 34.6 lbs loss thus far! I am 5'6, 41 years old.
Funny thing is, in the past, diets were all about getting skinny as fast as possible so I could finally be accepted and appreciated! This time, I'm really enjoying the journey. I'm not so focused on the end goal. Oh, I want to reach 150, but the time frame isn't nearly as important this time around. I must admit however, Megan is getting married July 2011 and I'd love to be at goal by then. But, if I am 10-20 pounds out from goal, I'd still be smokin'! :)
I'm learning that I am beautiful, inside and out. I'm letting myself believe that I can be the person I've always wanted to be.
Well...it's time to start the day. :)
