I’m a 30-something woman who has struggled with weight and food issues since I was about 10. I’ve tried a LOT of diets over the years and when I was approaching my 34th birthday, I felt like I was turning 64 and knew I had to do something about it. 10 years of working at a desk 60-80 hours per week took it’s toll. In that span of time I went from being an athletic person who could have maybe lost 10-15 lbs, to a total couch potato in my spare time, always stressed out, tired, sore and depressed – and 100-plus pounds overweight.
I have since lost 70lbs and am working on the last 30 or so… I started this blog for myself as a reminder of what I was doing, how I was feeling – to document what works and what doesn’t for me. It was also a place to keep resources and recipes. I’m hoping to put more into it again now that I’ve started fresh after over a year of hell at a new job and family health issues to deal with left and right. Life has calmed down so I’m back to focusing on me and my health with the goal of getting to my ideal weight and having a healthy relationship with food before we start a family. I want to be a healthy, happy role model for our kids someday, and just feel young and healthy for as long as I can on this earth, so I’m not a burden to my husband, my family or society. And because I want to look and feel great!
Cheers to good heath – and never giving up!
