My Journey!


I''''m 35 years young. I''''ve been overweight basically my whole life. I was picked on in school but I always had self confidence & been strong willed so nothing really bothered me. About 3 yrs ago I had lost about 50 lbs and although I was at 270 then I felt great.

I''''m 35 years young. I''''ve been overweight basically my whole life. I was picked on in school but I always had self confidence & been strong willed so nothing really bothered me. About 3 yrs ago I had lost about 50 lbs and although I was at 270 then I felt great. Then I got married into this roller coaster of a relationship, had a miscarriage, got depressed and found my weight slowly creeping up. The end result of that relationship was my lack of self confidence & my weight increasing to over 300 lbs. With my parents health issues, me not wanting the same & a friend/coworker recently dying from a heart attack at 42, this is my wake up call to start my journey to better health. My focus is not on losing weight but on feeling better and forming healthier habits. I''''m currently at 334 lbs and would like to lose 100 lbs & go from there.

    Even though losing weight is a difficult task, if we take it one day at a time, one step at a time, WE WILL GET THERE!!
    Hope you're having a great week, Brenda.
