Well let me tell you a little about myself sincethis is my introduction. My name is Rachel I am a midwesteren gal all round. I have two Children 3 if you count my over grown child of a husband
Love him though. any who....
I smoked from my early teen years up until I got preggers with my first child that was about 12 years. I stopped smoking and then picked it back up when he was 4and my youngest was 2 wosrt thing I had ever done.
Now two years into not smoking and I have gone from 186 to well over 220 I'm not even sure how much I weigh at this point I haven't stepped on a scale since the last time I did about a year ago I weighed 220 at the drs office. I never really had isuse with my body image until recently. I was always ok with me. and after giving birth and nursing two children I was in amazment of my body it was a wonderful thing that created, grew, and nourished life I was amazed with my body and it's wonderful feats never saddened by the way it looked.
Recently I feel like my body is holding me back from doing the things I want to do. I want to be fit again not nessesarily skinny just fit. I want to be comfortable with out cloths on. I think I had a banging body at 160 in my early 20's and looked a lil unhealthy at 140 in my late teens. I'm about 5'5 so I'm not sure how much I'm suppose to weigh. But I think 160 would be good.
I came here to get support and share my journey. I figured a bunch of other gals going through the same thing would be the best support.
