so apparantly I've been a member since 2009 and this is my first post....i guess i wasn't too serious then, but I am now!
So here's my story...I was an overweight child, maybe not by much but I did get teased in elementary and middle for being 'fat'. I never knew my father, my mother married my step father when I was about 7 and he was abusive so I blame that for being unhealthy. I remember one time he had opened a can of mixed fruit and everyone knows how the can only has like one cherry, so I ate it haha. He was on the phone with his brother and he says 'hold on' and says to me 'what a pig you are'. So embarrassing.
When I was 16 I moved out. I lost weight but it was mainly because I was broke and couldn't afford to eat. When I was 18 I had my first son. When I was 25 I had my daughter and 18 months later had my last son. At that point, thanks to breatsfeeding I had gotten from 179 to 150, When he was 6 months old, i got a job at a local dairy store which is more like a grocery store but with awesome food. Foods that were cooked and the end of the night, they put the food in the breakroom which I would devour before leaving at 10 p.m. So thats where I started putting the weight back on.
Currently I am probably about 240
I have high blood pressure...prediabetic...i just feel gross. I have tried quick diets, cutting everything bad from my diet, cutting soda ect...and nothing stays. Mainly because I give up too quick but I'm ready now. My stress level is through the roof, I can't walk from the car to the kitchen with groceries without getting winded. My motivation is we are going to florida in April and I'm afraid if I don't get rid of this pot belly, I won't fit comfortably on rides and just be tired of all the walking. I know it's right around the corner but I have to start somewhere 
I will weigh myself later and start taking pics of myself (if I can find the nerve) later on. I look forward to meeting everyone here!
