I am 39 married to a wonderful, supportive man.

I work for a Seminary that has conference facilities. I am the Hospitality & Event Coordinator. I coordinate weddings, seminars, retreats, parties, reunions, etc. Fun job, but my weight is getting in the way of me enjoying it more. People come and meet me for tours, etc. and I always feel like they are sizing me up. I know it's in my head, but I still want to look good and represent where I work.

I am 39 married to a wonderful, supportive man.

I work for a Seminary that has conference facilities. I am the Hospitality & Event Coordinator. I coordinate weddings, seminars, retreats, parties, reunions, etc. Fun job, but my weight is getting in the way of me enjoying it more. People come and meet me for tours, etc. and I always feel like they are sizing me up. I know it's in my head, but I still want to look good and represent where I work.

I pretty much stay in all time when I am not working. I now have two Maltese puppies that I wanted for a long time. One of the main reasons was to get me out of the house for their training and socialization.

I have always been overweight. I do not have children so there is no baby fat for me. Just laziness and not really caring. I always hide from photos and I do not have any full length mirrors in my home.

I have a great support system. My mother has always wanted me to loose weight so she is very happy that I am taking this seriously. My brother is a skinny thing and can eat whatever he likes. My best friend is on WW and goes every week to meetings. I am not ready for that step yet. She has been a great help getting me on track with the WW system. Last but not least, My husband. He is awesome. He is on the journey with me. He needs to loose about 20-25 pounds. He won't be on long. Men seem to loose weight much faster.
