Being over weight is not something I am familar with, it is something that I have always feared but always said "nope not me won't happen to me". Well I let it happen to me, and for a long time I refused to admit that it was becoming a problem. My weight fluctuated a lot in High School and College. I was never thing and in shape but I would never have considered myself to be "obese" either. I was simple just in the middle, a place where doctors didn't consider it a problem and I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted and thought it would take a lot to hit a point where I was out of control. Well just like everyone always warns you once you start getting older things start slowing down, and after I had my first baby that exact thing happened. I gained over 50 lbs from where I considered myself to be "in the best shape of my life" and that was terrifing, but I didn't even know how to begin changing who I was. However I knew it had become way more than weight gain, the person I was inside my head had become unhealthy too and I knew my change had to start there. I have slowly been working on myself and all the things that orginally caused me to gain the weight and with those changes I have already lost about 30lbs but would still love to lose about 30 more! So this diet bet and my love for Heidi and Chris and everything the stand for I am praying gets me to my goal! I am ready to be thin and fit and not "just somewhere in the middle".
 So here's to a new year, a new me, and a new forever!!!
