About Me
First of all, this is my first ever blog. Any tips would be appreciated. Please feel free to comment. One can never have too many friends!
I am 29 years of age, married for 5 1/2 years, and no children…yet. I live in a nice clean college town and I am a student. I have 5 younger siblings and I am the fattest of them all. I am the fattest person in my family. My Mom is a size 14 and everyone else in our family and extended family (cousins, grandparents, even inlaws) is below a size 6. Not that I am saying I need to be a size 6 to be satisfied but I am tired of being the largest person in my family. I weigh 315 pounds and am a tight size 24/4x. I vowed to not to buy a size 26 pants EVER!
I think blogging is going to play a big role in my success. It will be my own personal release and place of celebration. My family does not understand my struggle since they have never had to fight the battle of the buldge. It’s not an easy fight to win! I’ve been on a roller coaster for years and this is the largest I have ever been. It’s starting to wear on my health. I can lose weight no problem. I can gain weight no problem. My struggle is sticking to a diet plan and not gaining back the weight I’ve previously lost. I am looking forward to having fellow bloggers to relate to.
I am an Atkins guru! It’s been good to me. In 2003, I lost 73 pounds on Atkins. In the Spring of 2009, I lost 42 pounds on Atkins. I have lost small amounts in between but have gained back every pound I have ever lost and then some. Atkins has gained a bad rap from it’s dieters gaining back their weight. Of course! When you give in to ice cream & fried chicken, that’ll happen regardless of the plan that helped rid the excess fat in the first place. There has to be moderation (something I struggle with) to keep from falling off the wagon.
The day I married, I weighed 173. I was still over weight but I was happy for the first time in years. Now I am starting over. I do not know what lies ahead. I do know that this is going to take a while but as long as I am dedicated, I can reach my goal. Oh yeah, my goal….is to be happy and healthy. I’d say around 135-145 pounds (my recommended weight). When, I get to a happy and healthy me, I am sure I will need a few surgery for excess skin or whatever. I would like boobs too! 
First things first, GET THE WEIGHT OFF! Here goes!
