- About Me:
- Let’s start with a little history of myself. I’m a 27 year old single female. I have a great life with great friends and a great family. There’s only one thing missing…I don’t FEEL great. It sounds so crazy to me that I just don’t “fix” something that’s completely in my control, but I’ve found myself in this constant stuggle for so long.
It’s ironic that I was the skinny kid growing up. I was as thin as a rail until I hit puberty, and then it all started. I remember the first time anyone ever commented on my weight. I was probably about 12 at the time and my horseback riding instructor completely humiliated me in front of everyone. It was crushing…I didn’t understand. I had no idea it was just the beginning of what seemed to be a life-long struggle with myself and society. Here’s the funny thing…I thought I was the fattest girl in high school when I weighed 170 at 5′9″. While I realize this isn’t the ideal weight, I look back at some pictures and think I look pretty damn good! Fast forward a few years. College was great to me, maybe even a little too good. All the late-night Taco Bell runs and drinking really packed on the pounds. From my freshman year I went from 165 to 180 then to 195 my junior year up to 215 my senior year then hovered around 235 -240 in my fifth year ( I told you college was a little too good to me ). To make it worse, after college I gained an additional 23 pounds, for a record high weight of 263. 263….263???? WHAT?!?!? How did this happen?? Why did I do this to myself? I never thought I’d let myself balloon up to 263. I look back at 170 and 165 and laugh when I think about how fat I thought I was. Kinda funny, eh? Well the good news is I joined WW about a year ago. I’m currently at 215.4. I’m down almost 50lbs. While I still have quite a bit of work ahead of me, all I can say is I’m going to take it one pound at a time.

I'm baaack!!
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. Since then I've hired a personal trainer named Nick (who's AWESOME) and ran/walked my first 5K. I'm finally concentrating on me and really working on a mind/body/soul cleansing. So far, so good. I have so much to talk about but it's super late and I need to go. I'll be back tomorrow! Have a great day!

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Well we may finally be pulling out of the winter here in Cleveland! Sunshine seems to make the days just a little better. I hope the sunshine's here to stay! Today was a busy day. After work I had to find a pair of silver shoes for this wedding I'm in. I have my dress fitting tomorrow and I need to bring my dress, bra and shoes with me. So, I'm a bit of a procrastinator and started this day with only the dress. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd even have that yet if I wasn't told to order it in… Continue

Those late-night Taco Bell (and Denny's) runs tripped me up in college, too. Well, that and the biscuits and gravy at the dining hall. The bad thing about it is I didn't outgrow the fast-food runs when I left school.
Congrats on the weight loss you've already achieved.
