"Mommy, you're deflating!"
Hoping to "deflate" much more over the next year while keeping all of the healthy lifestyle changes.
I have been fat most of my life. I can remember as a child always having a hard time buying clothes--especially pants. My mother's favorite activity was to indulge us with candy, junk food, and eating out. She was very poor growing up and there were 6 children in her family, so treats were few and far between. To her food equaled love.

Hoping to "deflate" much more over the next year while keeping all of the healthy lifestyle changes.
I have been fat most of my life. I can remember as a child always having a hard time buying clothes--especially pants. My mother's favorite activity was to indulge us with candy, junk food, and eating out. She was very poor growing up and there were 6 children in her family, so treats were few and far between. To her food equaled love.
In high school I managed to starve myself down to about 125. Of course, this extremely unhealthy lifestyle was not sustainable and I gained all the weight back and then some in college. It did not help to have a college boyfriend who was also obese and who had plenty of money to eat out for every meal.
My weight was probably around 160 when I met my husband. He has always been super fit and knows how to eat healthy so being with him was a complete change for me. He ate 'weird' food like brown rice and lentils and vegetables. He wanted to do things like go to the beach and rollerblade. I started getting healthier, but had not dealt with any of my real food issues--the emotional ones.
I started to really pack on the pounds after the birth of my first child. My relationship with my husband soured and I was stressed out and depressed a lot of the time. The more weight I gained, the worse I felt, the more I ate. Comfort eating, stress eating, rewarding myself with food, all really bad habits.
A while ago my relationship with my husband completely turned around. It is hard to say exactly what happened. He gave a little, I gave a little, and we realized that we were still in love. We started spending intimate time together, going out just by ourselves and talking, dreaming. Then I got pregnant again--it was truly a blessing. I am so thankful that our relationship was strong when my baby was stillborn at term. I am not sure that I would have made it through without my husband.
I think it was this experience that has taught me how precious life is. I want to be healthy. It is not easy. It was easy to just eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. But I know that the effort to get fit and healthy will pay off. I am already feeling better.
