Finding my Freedom Size
I lost 90 pounds several years ago, through diet, exercise and yoga. Unfortunately, in the last few years, I gained 50 pounds, and all but quit exercising. During this time, I went through some significant personal crisis, resulting in my moving to Puerto Rico in 2009. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find affordable fresh food here (90% of all products are imported), there is limited access to fitness facilities, and a lack of awareness regarding health, diet and exercise (Puerto Rico ...
I lost 90 pounds several years ago, through diet, exercise and yoga. Unfortunately, in the last few years, I gained 50 pounds, and all but quit exercising. During this time, I went through some significant personal crisis, resulting in my moving to Puerto Rico in 2009. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find affordable fresh food here (90% of all products are imported), there is limited access to fitness facilities, and a lack of awareness regarding health, diet and exercise (Puerto Rico has one of the highest diabetic rates). It is time for change - I am looking for balance and moderation in my life . . . .

Personal Information:
My name is Tammy - Pfifer was a high school nickname. After going through a tough divorce, my business collapsing, and and packing on the pounds, I have found myself needing to make change. I am tired of either being obsessed with every morsel that I put in my mouth, or going to the other extreme, total neglect of my body. As long as I don't have balance, my focus is on food, and my weight - and life is too short for that. I now have a wonderfully supportive husband, and together, we are working to find that balance. This time I will find my "freedom" size. When I was a size 4, I had to be aware of every morsel I put into my mouth. Tracking food, obsessively working out, and compulsively weighing myself. At size 14 I am totally neglectful of my body - giving not a second thought to exercise or nutrition. . . this time I will find the size, where I simply enjoy my life. Where it is okay to splurge every once in a while, where moderate exercise is a joy. In addition to my wond
Other Information:
I am determined to find my "freedom" size through balance and moderation. Food will no longer by the focus of my life. Extremes in either direction are unhealthy for me.
