WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU (AND MADE YOU) SUCCESSFUL: This is the first time I have made an effort to lose weight. I decided that I needed to lose the weight first and foremost for myself because I didn't feel like "me" when I was that heavy. I didn't like the way I looked and I didn't feel healthy! Secondly, I didn't want my daugher to have a fat mom! Lastly, I am planning another pregnancy in the near future and decided to try getting pregnant at a lower weight then gaining a reasonable amount of weight during pregnancy this time!
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: portion control and craving sweets
