My Story

Join me on my journey to lose the forty pounds I put on since I got married!! 

I’ve always had issues with my weight; when I was thirteen, I joined Weight Watchers and lost thirty five pounds.  Two years later, I started working for them and spent the next seven years helping people count exchanges and, later, count points.  Working for Weight Watchers was a built-in moderator; if I gained weight, I would get fired.

In the summer of 2003, however, my husband and I moved to Waco, TX, and I found myself without a job and the wife of a full-time graduate student.  I ended up selling furniture, and I also ended up gaining five pounds.  It only got worse when we moved back to NC; I quickly put on another twelve, and have put on another twenty-ish just in the past year.

Oh, and I work in the financial industry and I’m going to grad school online to get my M.A. in Multicultural Literature (so time is at a premium!!!)

In short, I’m dissatisfied with myself.  I want to change.  My dad’s got heart problems and diabetes.  I don’t want to be there.  And I’ve finally reached the point where I’m ready to seek consistency, authenticity, and balance in my life.

Hang around; I’d love to hear from you and learn from you.
