In 2002, my little sister died. While my parents wasted away in their grief, I ate all the casseroles and cakes that my beautiful friends, family, and neighbours brought us. In fact, I continued to eat to fill the hole my sister left behind until I was 50 pounds heavier - weighing in at 205.

I went on Weight Watchers, and at Christmas 2009 I was 167. I went up to 174 by the time my wedding hit in July (2010), and now, in my happiness, I have climbed back up to 181.

I am almost 30. I have spent all of my 20s overweight and unhappy with my body. I don't want my 30s to be like that. I want to have kids soon, and I want to be a good role model. I don't want them to see me with this literal and symbolic baggage.

So, on Monday, April 11th, I'm starting a change. I'm starting the Insanity program, and I will continue to track my food intake on here. The Insanity program is 60 days, and that is my birthday gift to myself. On June 11th, 5 days away from the big 3-0, I want to be able to thank myself for the gift of finally caring.
