Change is coming day by day... Keep the faith!!!
I have always been on the heavy side. I don't want to allow myself to use the excuse that it is what I grew up with as a kid. My whole immediate family is unhealthy. They are obese. I am obese.
I have not been satisfied my whole life with my weight. In 2003 I had finally had enough being overweight and lost 85 pounds and felt great. I kept the weight off for several years and then had some medical issues where I was instructed NOT to work out until the doctor's could figure ...

I have not been satisfied my whole life with my weight. In 2003 I had finally had enough being overweight and lost 85 pounds and felt great. I kept the weight off for several years and then had some medical issues where I was instructed NOT to work out until the doctor's could figure out why I was passing out every time I worked out. My eating habits were not where they should have and the weight crept on slowly.
I had gained 30 pounds back fast when I could finally start working out again. By that time I was disappointed and had lost focus. My husband and I had been trying to adopt and had several failed attempts that ate at my core...before I knew it I had gained back all 85 pounds. One thing for sure, I have determined I am that emotional eater. My husband and I have sinced adopted two beautiful babies who are now 2 and 3.
Right now my husband is deployed and I decided that I would not let my emotional eating deter me and my goal to be healthy. I want a change of lifestyle for my family and most importantly myself. I've done it before, but this time I want to change for good.

who wouldn't let me take my breaks. If I had, I probably would have been able to complete the project sooner - I just don't think as well if I don't eat and I'm tired.
