Hi, my name is Carrie. I turn 30 tomorrow, and for the past 20 years have struggled with my weight. About 7 years ago I joined WW and lost 105 pounds in 13 months, I have since gained back 70 pounds...I work out 3 to 5 times a week, but food is my weakness...I don't typically go overboard with bad choices, I just make enough bad choices that it adds up! I will not live the next 30 years like this...There has never been a day that I can remember that I didn't wake up thinking about food or my weight...
Christmas Day 2007, my husband, baby, and I were on our way to my family's for Christmas when we hit ice and rolled our SUV. My husband was killed. My baby didn't have a scratch on her. She is truly a miracle. I have survived one of the toughest years of my life and I have come out a stronger woman, but I know that I can be stronger if I get control of my weight issue and make a cognizant effort to just be happier. It doesn't matter what the number on the scale says so much as it matters what choices I make in being healthy...I can do this...if I didn't break when my husband died I know I am strong enough to get my arms around my weight...I want to be happy...I want to be a mom with lots of energy and a mom that my daughter can look up to and say "mommy you're beautiful, I want to be just like you"...I want to be able to be in a relationship and not worry if he is thinking about my weight...I want to be able to enjoy life to it's fullest and I am going to!
Thank you all for your support...I may not post a lot, but reading your triumphs and struggles has already helped me have a good week...
