Reinventing Maria
My name is Maria. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 12 years old. I am either eating too much or not eating at all. I have weighed as low as 105 pounds all the way up to 226 pounds. I have worn every pant size from a 4 to a 22. I just never seem to have a healthy relationship with food, my body, or my spirit! It's so frustrating and I am ready to work it out and be DONE with it!

My name is Maria. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 12 years old. I am either eating too much or not eating at all. I have weighed as low as 105 pounds all the way up to 226 pounds. I have worn every pant size from a 4 to a 22. I just never seem to have a healthy relationship with food, my body, or my spirit! It's so frustrating and I am ready to work it out and be DONE with it!
Life with kids, a spouse, work, and school keeps me moving but I never demand time for myself to get healthy. I'm tired of struggling to tie my shoes, feeling fatigued, clothes looking terrible on me, feeling so uncomfortable, and not sleeping properly. I hate looking at chairs and doorways and wondering if I'm going to fit. I've had enough! I never imagined I would be this person outwardly. The person that's hiding within is sooo different. I'm ready to be free from the excess weight and start living life.
I've also been an active member of an Overeaters Anonymous group and Celebrate Recovery for the past year. I credit that groundwork and those women for getting me to the point of being able to start this journey. Also I thank God for granting me His grace and allowing to me live the life He always wanted me to live. I just finished a traditional 12 step program where I hashed out all the hurts, habits, and hang-ups. Finally I feel ready to start taking a hard look at myself and get living!!

My Goals:
My long term goal-
I am turning 30 in June 2010. I want to lose 76+ pounds by then. I don't want to take this weight into the next decade of my life! I want to maintain a life of fitness and activity for myself and my family.
My Program:
I'm really utilizing the nutrition guide and meal plans provided for my diet. It is so nice to have everything laid out for me. It takes all the guessing work out of eating (and the emotions).
Personal Information:
I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I work part time and I am a full time student. I am the proud mother of 2 wonderful little boys who are my pride and joy!! I have an incredibly supportive husband who has the metabolism of a 5 year old! But he supports me and he motivates me in positive ways. I am a lucky lady.
Other Information:
I love having people in my life who are positive, upbeat, and outgoing. I desire to be more like that and I feed off of that energy :).
I love giving and getting support!!
