i am a 29 year old mother of 2 i have been fat all my life due to poor eating practices i was 303 when i went in to deliver my son and 300 when i went in to have my daughter i promised my husband a long time ago that if we had a daughter i would get really serious about loosing the weight because i don't want her raised to think yo-yo dieting and deprivation are the way to love your self i want to be a healthy and active example for my children so they won't inherit the issues i have ignored for so long...the dual purpose for ridding myself of my second self is that my 10 year reunion passed and i am 60 lbs heavier than i was in high school i want to look as good as i did back then when i could run 2 miles and lift a weights heavier than my children i miss the way i felt back then... i miss looking at myself in the mirror and finding some part of me attractive beyond my eyes....that will all change i have this bull by the nose and I'm not letting go for anything!!!
