Over the past year I gained a total of 42lbs . It doesn’t sound like a lot , but to me it is . From being a girl of 112-118 lbs being at 160 really took a toll on me . And every month I gain a couple of pounds . It’s stressful and depressing . I’m always exhausted , I barely have energy to have some one on one time with my husband . I haven’t worn a dress in idk how long . I used to always take pictures now I can’t even look In the mirror . Before my body wasn’t perfect or anything but it was okay for someone who had a child . Then i came across Jessica’s story , and for months I’ve been putting it off but constantly complain how I’m unhappy the way I am . But I’m finally going to do it . And I’m okay with the thought of failing this round cause I’m not going to give up till I reach my goal . Till I’m happy with my appearance . That’s why I continue to tell myself if Jessica can do it so can I . Thank you for being so inspirational . Not only to my but world wide .
