Hiya!
I'm Deanna (call me Dea) and I'm 33 years old. I have 2 sons, ages 9 and 6. I've lost significant amounts of weight in the past - and I've done it the "move more and eat healthy" way every time. Every gain I've had has been either from pregnancy or from an emotional bomb.
I'm an emotional eater - sad, mad, frustrated, anxious, you name it - I eat.
I gained back everything and then some about 4 years ago when I lost a kidney and fell into a depression. I'm so mad at myself. I was 15 pounds from my goal weight, I'd taken it off and I was enjoying the work outs, etc. I had a habit, you know? I had everything where it wasn't "hard" to do. And then I just let it all slip away.
I've been playing at losing ever since. At this point, I am just so sick of hurting - my weight is affecting my health problems adversely right now.
So I'm ready for a change, and I'm ready to claw my way back to feeling better.
