The start of a new ME!!
I have been overweight my entire life. Growing up my family told me "Your beautiful no matter how you look." I followed in my parents' footsteps waiting what ever I wanted thinking more was always better. The bigger the portion the more for your money, the better the deal, etc. I am 5'4" I currently weigh 240 lbs. and have a BMI of over 40. I am not at all proud of myself. My weight causes me problems both physically & emotionally. I refuse to be like my Mom and complain about my problems without doing something about it! I just started using a website called loseit.com. It is going to help me track my calories & exercise. a friend of mine, Allison, that I met on APA (American Pregnancy Association) has agreed to help hold me accountable. My husband is behind me 100% and this time I will succeed because I am not dieting I am changing my life! I plan on using my blog as well by posting my progress & sharing some of the food I eat. I will also write about times when I make a bad choice. So please follow me on my latest food journey as I discover how to enjoy food while making my life better!

A cookie or ice cream of over indulging one day is not a bad choice. I had a sugar cookie smothered in a thick layer of icing and jimmies. It was delicious! Was my indulgence from a week and a half from my last one! And I weigh mote than you! I was 273 when I started but a huge setback was me gaining 3 lbs! So I started again at 276. I was 261.8 yesterday and plan on weighing in in a few hours once I wake up. I know some of this is water weight too but I'm still happy! You can do it too Julia!
