I'm Peggy from Chicago. I am 27 and recently married. I have carved out a little niche for myself and am happy almost always. I teach and love my job. Work is stressing me out this year (I won't get on my soapbox about how bad education is right now) and I've started to eat my feelings. I am a vegetarian and have become a Carb-a-tarian. I have not been making myself a priority and being lazy on making healthy food choices. I've decided to take back my life! I've worked too hard to get to where I am. I used to be 285 lbs and was down to 127 and am now back up to 167. I just started weight watchers and am trying to get back on track. I decided to give this a whirl. I love people and animals. I have two shelter cats who I love to bits and an 8 month old Boston Terrier who runs the show.
