Hello,
So, I don't know what to start with. I'm 25, a single mom of a 4 and a half year old, was married, currently in a committed relationship with a wonderful man, and also restarting my jump to a better life.

I've been "thick" all my life... When I first started dating my exhusband I entered a deep depression and ballooned to "hefty" and what I called "fat". I then got pregnant and gained even more, and didn't lose the baby weight.

When my ex and I separated 2 years ago, it jump started my desire to lose the weight (having to go back into the dating scene), and I lost some, getting close to a first goal, but never achieving it. I've yoyo'd since, and it has always been dependent on who I'm with, changing my eating and exercise habits around their desires and their schedules.

But not anymore. I'm in a relationship with a man who is terrific, supports what I want to do (while telling me I don't need it, lol, perfect response), and is willing to change his eating habits to meet mine, and start exercising with me.

So here I am. Back at start. Don't know what I weigh because my scale batteries died a while ago, and I'm a little scale shy anyway. I'll try to find a time tomorrow morning to weigh myself.... I just need to remind myself that the truth is the truth whether I know it or not...
