Howdy from Texas Tess
Howdy, I am Teresa/Tess from Texas(Close friends and family call me Tess, but my given name is Teresa). I wan t to lose weight for three primary reasons: 1. to get healthy and not have so many health worries, 2. to ride horses again (we have four beautiful horses and I miss riding them), and 3. to be more active with my kids-- I love playing soccer and baseball with them-- but can't really do those things anymore, or can't do them as well as I used to.

Howdy, I am Teresa/Tess from Texas(Close friends and family call me Tess, but my given name is Teresa). I wan t to lose weight for three primary reasons: 1. to get healthy and not have so many health worries, 2. to ride horses again (we have four beautiful horses and I miss riding them), and 3. to be more active with my kids-- I love playing soccer and baseball with them-- but can't really do those things anymore, or can't do them as well as I used to.
I find that being fat is very isolating. It's a prison of my own making and when I think about it, I think that I am crazy to have gotten to this point in my life-- to have imprisoned myself in this way. But, that happened in the past-- and we are looking FORWARD, not backward. What can I do to change the situation? Well... I am doing it. Eating better, exercising more, working to improve myself-- both physically and mentally. It does not matter what you do physically, if you are not mentally ready to lose weight/make life changes, it does not matter-- you will fail. The body AND mind both have to be on board with this weight loss thing.

Personal Information:
My name is Teresa, and I am a 47 year old mother to two (ages13 and 17) and wife to one (Jesse). I have been married for nearly 21 years. We live out in the country in Texas, and have lots of animals. I have always led a very active life up until... well, I don't know what happened. I just started sitting around on my butt and getting fatter every year. I miss the energy and fun that I used to have, and want it back!!! I want a life, and the kind of life doesn't fit a fat person.
Other Information:
I have to fight the urge to "escape" every night when I drive home. I have to make myself turn down our road. I often think about running away-- going somewhere I've never been before-- and starting over. I even started an "escape fund" two years ago. I figure when the escape fund is big enough, and I am small enough, I will fly away. That may never happen, but I would like the option of being able to-- and that option does not exist in a world where I am fat (or, poor).
