Hello to all the other chicks out there in cyber space.
I was lurking for about a week and decided to go ahead and post. Though, I have to say I'm not always the best at making friends since I'm a fairly private person and I don't coddle. My motto: "put up or shut up." Yes, it may be harsh, but that's who I am.
At my heaviest, I was 280 and was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I soon found Roller Derby and managed to loose 40lbs. Then I got lazy and stopped trying to loose the weight. Unfortunately I had to quit the league after 4 years. I'm now bound and determined to loose the rest of the weight through shear will, determination with lots of exercise and eating right. It's not going to be easy, and it's not going to be pretty. I am at war with my body. The fat suit is coming off once and for all. I no longer need it.
