Here's a little bit about me..
I am 28yrs.old.Married(happily) my hubby is a truck driver I go months at a time without seeing him.I miss him so much.We have a beautiful boy who is 2 yrs.old.
~♥~ ~♥~ ~♥~
I have spent my entire life being "the fat girl"I am sick of it!
I want to go in a store,and not have to shop in the plus size section.
Or always think people are staring at me.
I want to feel good in my own skin.

My health has been horrible.Once I turned 19 I found out I was diabetic.I've been in,and out of the hospital..Surgery after surgery.
After having our son my doctor told me I wasn't going to make it to see our son graduate.With me being a diabetic you would think I would have taken better care of myself.well..not so much.

I can remember the day when it all just hit me..I was just sitting in the floor playing with our son...."What am i doing to myself?" Is what I thought.
I want to see our son fall in love..
Or go to his first school dance..
Have a family of his own.
Grow old with my hubby.Also I want to see myself "not fat"!So I just came to this point in my life.And i cant go back to the person I was before.I just wont..I think once someone gets to that point its different than just a diet.Its a lifestyle change.its so hard..and also a daily battle,but to watch my body change,and the look on people's faces when they see me..Is awesome! way better than stuffing myself with food could ever feel.I am treating myself by not eating like I was before.
I pray every single day Jesus gives me the strength I need to accomplish whatever it is i need to do to get healthy.he gives me energy when I ask him to,so i can get my workouts done.Jesus also brought me to
~~**~~!!Spark People!!~~**~~
I want to feel good about myself.I want to look in the mirror,and love the person staring back.

I'm not saying once the pounds start to melt its all peachy..NO its not!! Hey life happens,and once something that really hurts your heart..Or something that just totally stresses you out happens you lose focus..Well I do.And ALL my goals go out the window.
I will be struggling with this Battle for the rest of my life..
BUT one thing is for sure,I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!!
I mean come on..Is "food" really worth it??
I CAN'T GO BACK..I WONT GIVE IN

I have met one of my goals.My diabetes use to be so out of control, I am happy to report that my blood sugars have been doing GREAT! Found out I'm type 1,so the diabetes will NOT go away once I reach goal..I find that since I have dropped 77 lbs my blood sugars just DROP often.Other than that they are doing much better!I'im so proud of myself,and the person i am becoming.Its like I'm starting to see a new me,that was buried underneath for so many years.

Christina, Just stopped in to say hi, and see how you are doing. You are doing a great job on battle 7!!! Thanks for all your support.
How much snow did you get?? You live in Missouri too right?? Where do you live? Just wondering. I think we got about 3 inches or so of snow here.

Hope you have a wonderful week!! And congrats on the potty training with Dakota. I've started to introduce it to Trevor, But he is VERY active and doesn't sit still for a second so we are working on SITTING on the potty!! LOL He's still young we aren't pushing it.

Anyway thanks for the support.
