About 40 lbs down!
My whole life I've had a struggle with my weight. I started gaining weight at a very early age, and haven't been able to get the weight off since.
I lived in Russia for one year (2006-2007), where I maintained a very active lifestyle. While living there I managed to lose about 40-50 pounds. Since then I have gained about 65 pounds back.
After going back home from Russia I discovered that I have fibromyalgia. Some days are difficult for me... and some days I wonder how ...

After going back home from Russia I discovered that I have fibromyalgia. Some days are difficult for me... and some days I wonder how I am going to even make it through. But I'm not going to let it stop me.
In 2007 I was married to the man of my dreams! We've been working and travelling ever since. We've been to Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Ecuador and China.
A couple years ago, we spent the year teaching in China. It was definitely interesting and we learned a lot. Now we are back in the States and I am trying to get back into the groove of the American lifestyle. I'm not going to lie...it's been very hard.
Our culture is very food oriented and it makes it hard to keep on track.
This leaves me frustrated.
I'm tired of struggling.
I'm going to work hard...and take this journey to achieve my goals.
I know I can do it!

Take a deep breath and hold. 
Exhale sloooowly. 
Repeat 5-10 times. 
Meditate on your choices. Really try. 
eat like the angel that you are 
and need to feel better. 
one choice at a time. 
Take baby steps (it really works!) 
Merry Christmas.
