Hi everyone! I've been working on changing my life for about a month and a half now. Everything kind of snapped into place for me in early November when I was at the zoo with a friend and my daughter and he asked me if I have health insurance for myself and I said no I didn't. It's complicated story lol but to sum it up I'm a single Mom and shortly after I left my ex my daughter was diagnosed with autism. I've had to totally devote myself to her needs and atm that means putting myself last in some ways. But I realized that as proud of myself as I am for making 'sacrifices' for her I am not making the biggest one in taking care of myself as well as I can. I've lost 16 so far but I would really like to get to 150's by or before June. I want to proudly go swimming with my daughter next year and tag those facebook pictures from my friends parties with pride!
I am already feeling better, I was always kind of afraid to try and exercise because I thought it would make me more tired then I already was trying to keep up with the kiddo some days, but surprise it was just the opposite.
I know how important support is so I'm really excited to be here!
