I have always been conscience of my weight!! Of the four children born to my parents I was the fat one and my family never let me forget it. Whether through jokes, or plain old confrontation I was always made aware my weight wasnt where it was supposed to be. Growing up I was very athletic which helped me maintain a weight which most deemed acceptable. The true issue I was fighting was never dealt with though. My need for comfort through food. Once I stopped playing sports the weight stuck me like white on rice! I am now at a place where I recognize my use of food as comfort and have confronted it head on!! I know that salt and sweets are the devil! lol.. With an AMAZING support system I have learned new ways of working out and have found delicious ways to maintain a healthy diet and I am determined to be a better me. 60lbs down--- 30 more to go---
