I am Laurie, I am married and a mother of two children. My daughter,Molly is 4yrs old and my son, Gavin is 8 months old. I have been married for 7 years to my wonderful husband, Dallas. I am here to regain who I want to be in my life. I have built so many walls up around myself to protect myself from all the bad things that has happpened in my life. My fat is the walls I have built up. It is now time to quit hiding behind my fat and become the person who I know I can be. I am ready to love how I look, how I feel and who I am. I look forward to getting to know you.
to 3fc, Laurie! It's great to hear that you have decided to break through the bulwark that you have created for yourself- I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss journey.
Though, I do have one piece of advice... learn to love the way you look now; don't wait until x number of lbs later.. it will make everything so much easier.
Hi - welcome!! It is great you are taking control of your life. I also have put on weight as a wall of protection. Except now I know that actually the wall locks me in, and I want to be free! So welcome, and we'll travel this road together.
