Man, I feel like I have done this 100 times!  I'm 29 and I have been struggling with my weight my entire life.  As a kid (under 10) friends would jokingly ask if I was pregnant because I had little chicken legs and a pot belly.  It wasn't until my Junior year of high school when I joined the track team and dropped 45 pounds in 3 months, down to 125!  That was the lowest I weighed and I was still self conscious.  As an adult, my weight has gotten out of hand and I have hit a wall, both emotionally and physically.  There isn't a day that goes by when I don't question my fiancé’s sanity, why would he be with me?  He should run for the hills!!  Yet he still loves me and I'm grateful!

I should be so happy, I am marrying the man of my dreams in one year and all I can think about is how fat I'm going to look.  I can't even think of trying on dresses, that day will be the worst!  However, I'm going to put all that behind me and do everything I can to be healthy again.  The only one stopping me is myself, here's to a new beginning...
