My name is Kari. I am a wife and mother to 2 boys. I have been very negative about my body image since I was 12 or 13. Growing up I played a lot of sports and by doing so I gained a lot of muscle but it seemed the more muscle I gained the more my mom would pick on me for not being as skinny as my brother or sister. To this day she still says little comments that she knows will hurt me. Since I had by youngest son, I have not been able to get the weight back off. I lost it right after I had him ...

My name is Kari. I am a wife and mother to 2 boys. I have been very negative about my body image since I was 12 or 13. Growing up I played a lot of sports and by doing so I gained a lot of muscle but it seemed the more muscle I gained the more my mom would pick on me for not being as skinny as my brother or sister. To this day she still says little comments that she knows will hurt me. Since I had by youngest son, I have not been able to get the weight back off. I lost it right after I had him but gained it all right back plus some when they took me off of the medication they gave me while I was pregnant. I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. My husband is the sweetest man I have ever met. He is my rock and is nothing short of supportive of me. I am doing this because I want to set a great example to my boys of healthy living. My hope is that Ill reach my goal!
