Im sure like all of us or at least most of us, I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I recently opened up to my husband and told him all of the things I think about and do on a daily basis when it comes to my self image and weight. I asked him if he had noticed that whenever we are at someones house or someone is visiting our house and we are all sitting on the couch, that I always seem to have something, wether it be a pillow or something similar, in front of my stomach? I have done this for as long as i can remember as well. Its just habit, i feel a more comfortable hiding it in any way. There are several things like this that I do that I am so tired of doing. I want to feel comfortable with my body. I dont have unrealistic expectations of weight loss, I am a very optimistic person, so ten pounds is WHOO HOO TEN POUNDS. I am only 27 and I have a three year old daughter and I love being her mother. I want to be able to run and play and go to carnivals and ride the rides with her. I love rollercoasters, but for the past several years while being married, I have had to tell my husbands sister and her husband (skinny minnies) that I dont like roller coasters, that way they would not ask me to go on one, when I know I cant. People out there have no idea what we all go through and the daily toll all of this has on us and our emotions. Im so glad to have this oppurtunity and to have found such a great place to meet people that feel the same way I do.
