....Hi all, my name is Megan. I am a 35 year old mother of a 9 year old, and significant other to a truly wonderful man. For once in my life I feel like all the stars are aligned, that is with the exception of my body. I am happy, mostly healthy (allergy and sinus issues mostly), and full of life, however my weight prevents me from actually living "full of life". Most of my life, up until I turned 30 I was thin and active, even after having my son I averaged in at 145lbs. After a failed marriage, several anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medications, and alot of partying I found myself at 232lbs, heavier than I had even been full term pregnant. I look in the mirror and see someone I don't know. Everytime I ask this girl, "Where am I, why did you eat me?!"
I am also at the crossroads of weight related health issues, ones that both of my parents have dealt with, ones that I can not allow to happen to me.
So....that all brought me to where I am today. I am 4 weeks into Weight Watchers. I organized a meeting at my workplace, which makes attending the meetings super easy. I am down 7 point some odd pounds and refuse to look back. I love sharing tips and recipes I've found with my fellow WW participants here at work and hope to find as much support and togetherness on this site.
