My story.....

I have been over weight for most of my life. I have struggled, going up and down the scale in number.  My senior year, I was at a constant 270 to 275. It wasn't though until the end of my sophomore year of college that I got the wake up call. I went to the doctors, and I weighed a whopping 285. I remember going home and bawling my eyes out. I had never been that close to 300. Then and There i resolved to lose weight. I have since over the past months lost 80+ pounds! I have never felt better in my life. The more weight I lose the more confidence I gain. You see I have always been shy but thanks to speech in high school, and this weight loss I am becoming a new person, and I love it !

I am starting this blog, first because I am taking a blogging class, but second I am doing it to share my story and things I have learned. You see I know things like what is healthy for you and taste great, what to eat at restaurants, and other endless tips and advice. I feel like there are people out there that just don't know what to do, so hence my blog.

Here are some picture of me before and now. ( I say now, because I am not at my after yet).
