Where do I start? Like many others I have been overweight most of my life. I had kids and gained more weight with each one. I eat because I am depressed, stressed out, happy, sad, tired, bored, mad, hungry, not hungry, while watching tv, because it was there, because I was bored, my skinny friends were eating, I was in an eating trance, (if I left anything out let me know) etc.
I am a single mother, I work full time and I live in Massachusetts. I have a warped sense of humor (like my sisters) but that has helped me get through some tough times and made me the person I am now. My sisters are very supportive and we are very close, (Love you guys!) My kids are great (don't all moms say that?), oh, I also have a brother who doesn't know just how special he is to me. I also have lots of neices and nephews (lots and lots...).
Other than being a wonderful cook I love crafts - crochet, knitting, anything to do with a glue gun, and my new addiction, beading. I also like to dance and I like R&B, Top 40, Hip Hop and some Rap (did I mention I was 35?). My kids don't like me to dance in public (especially at my son's high school dances) but that will be another page titled "How to embarass your teenage son in public"
I now know how to make good food choices although sometimes I choose not to do so. I know I can loose weight becuase I've already lost 65 lbs. This is a life long journey. I found the quote on my first page "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." and I knew this described me. This weight loss journey is a long and learning experience. It is not always easy, sometimes you may take a step backwards, sometines you might fall on your ass, but you've got to learn to pick yourself up and keep going.
That's about it for now. As my life gets more exciting I will add to this page but for now this is all I have to say about me.
