Showing each step of my weight loss path. Sharing what I have done and showing that it can be done. ~ :~ I will be the Shrinking Gurl ~ : ~ GOAL WEIGHT IS 140 Want to reach this goal by July 1st 2009.
I am a 34 year old wife and mother. I met my husband online back in 2001. We married while we lived over in Italy, where my husband is from. 2004 we had Alex our pride and joy. 2005 we moved to Fort Myers where we knew no one and took a chance on us just the three of us.
I was always the chubby child and heard it many times over and over from my grandfather that I was fat. In my early 20's I stopped eating. I have a big frame so when I dropped down to 115-120 pounds I looked awful, but I still see myself as fat. As the years went on I slowly added weight back on. Then a few years later I went on the shot for birth control, why not one prick every three months I was all about that. But while I was doing that I began gaining serious weight and kept adding it on, slowly climbing the number higher and higher. While I was pregnant I did not gain too much weight, I ate good and was sick for 7 months of it all. It was not till after we moved back to the USA I gained most of my weight. I was ordering out a lot, not moving around much, I became depressed, which I ate more. My highest weight was when I was at 223 that was the summer of 2007 when I joined LA Weight Loss (which was a rip off). I found a great plan to work and I worked it close to how I should, I treated myself a little here and there. I lost 28 pounds in 6 weeks, felt great and was ready to drop the rest. But I had to take a break from the Hcg for 4 weeks and I never went back to it. I was laid off from work and fell into another depression and well I shopped and eat a lot for months. So I bought the book 21 pounds in 21 days and I found Fatty2Slim and I have been inspired to get back lazy ass up and stop feeling sorry for myself and lose the weight again. So thank you Fatty2Slim for having your site which I found and now I feel I can do the weight loss video diary myself. I am the type of person that gets bored and then a quit, so I need support and I feel I can get it on here as so many of you have. I want to break my curse I have with food and show myself I can be the pretty slim girl in shape again. I want my son to be proud of having me as his mom. I want my husband to be happy and if I am happy well then he is happy. :o)~
I am tired of feeling as food is a drug to me and I am sick of what it does to me. I want to be free of the drug and stand up and know I can do this and eat when I want too and not feel hungry or as if I am missing out. I want to live longer and enjoy life and not worry about the next meal will be. I look forward to meeting new friends and getting the chance to show you all how I drop the weight. I hope to reach someone as Fatty2Slim (Cindy) reached me. Thank you!
