I get to eat every day of my life, so I don't have to eat it all today!

Hello to all the sparklers... smile. I have always been over weight. I was always the tallest and fattest kid in the class. A couple of years ago I lost almost 200 pounds with Weight Watchers. I had a great group and a wonderful leader but then I moved and it just wasn't the same. So, I slowly gained all of the weight back.

I'm so glad that I found Sparkspeople. It's the right group for the support I need.

As you can see from my play list on the right, I have an eclectic taste in music. I have taught music for 18 years in the public school system now and play 8 different instruments to some extent. I am the 3rd/bass clarinetist for the Pasadena Philharmonic Orchestra and have completed 3 seasons with them. It's a great group.

I love to read and have recently have been binging on paranormal romances. I am a semi professional photographer and a fashion designer. I love sewing corsets and design mainly for larger women, I guess because that's what I have the most experience doing. Smile.

I also design the houses the my husband builds. We focus on alternate building systems that are energy efficient as well as not relying on out forests for building materials.

I ran across your page today and found we have a lot in common. My husband and I were music teachers and he played the bass clarinet in college. He plays clarinet and soprano sax now.

I try to use music as a mood elevator rather than food now. Come visit my Spark page and say, "hi."

So the contacts came in ... but do they fit?

I hope they do!

Thanks for response and for reminding me what I need to concentrate on. I'm actually looking forward to checking on folks on Spark as a stress-reliever during the week!
