MY WW STORY
My weight problem began about seven years ago. When I was a young girl I was always thin....my nickname was "bones"....my mom told me that the biggest thing on me were my knee's. LOL. I was a dancer who began at 2 1/2 yrs old and danced until I was 22 yrs old. When I started developing as a teenager...my boobs were rather large..34/C...but I was very fit and muscular. I didn't realize at the time that I was creating very bad eating habits that I would continue into my adult life. I ate fast food between dance classes, candy, soda, chips....but everybody was doing it and I wasn't getting any bigger. I danced five days a week and had a very active metabolism.....UNTIL............
AFTER my son was born. During my pregnancy I only gained 40lbs and lost 30lbs in the first month afterwards. The last 10lbs NEVER came off.....and I just increased in weight from there. NOW....here I am 235lbs ...and I don't know when it happened....I have been in denial for quite a few years. Me? Fat? NO WAY!!!. Well I am and i'm sick of it!!! I never changed my eating habits and my exercise level decreased drastically, I had a baby, and the rest is history!!!
I started WW at home in September 2002.
In a few months I lost 30lbs...looked great and felt great. I met a man from Canada, fell in love and I totally lost my focus. I decided that 30lbs was enough FOR NOW...and I actually maintained that weight for an entire year. I bought a new wardrobe and thought to myself "i'm never going back" WELL...he broke my heart....which brings along emotional eating and I ate everything in sight. The clothes slowly became tighter. They have now sat in my closet for a year and I am very determined to wear them again.
So here I am ....doing WW at home AGAIN. It worked before and it will work this time too...I go to the gym almost daily and I am very determined and motivated. I will NOT stop and I will never go back...I will keep going until I reach my goal of 160lbs.
This time I am ready....this time I am in it for LIFE!
