The beginning

Well here I am on July 5 2011 at 12:32 am,  starting a blog.  I am hoping that this will be the motivation I need to get me to become the person I know I can be instead of settling with the person I have become.  I'm sure there have been tons of blogs about losing weight and I'm just another one but I'm hoping I can also be that story of change. You know what I mean. Heres a little info about me: my name is Christy Im 33 years old , Ive  have a great man ( who ive been with for over 15 years) and am a mother of  3 wonderful boys.

I have put up a picture of myself at my highest weight and yes I am gong to tell you what that weight was........327lbs.  At that weight I was so uncomfortable in my body I couldn't stand it. Holy Crap did I just write that!!!! If I'm going to do this blog I'm going to be completely honest with not only you but also with myself.  Wow how did I get here shouldn't I have noticed how much weight I have gained over the years? Why didn't I start earlier? Well what can you do, cant change what has happened only what your going to do now. Its not a number I'm proud of but It is just a number and I'm going to change that.  I have lost 40lbs over the last year but have lost motivation hense the blog.

I have been going to an Obesity specialist over the past year and that is why I have dropped 40lbs. She has been great but i think that I need more support that a once a month visit.  I now weigh 293lbs and notice a difference in the way I feel.  Its so awesome to drive and not have your belly do the steering  and its also a relief to be able to sit in a booth when I go to a restaurant.  I am far from done but lets get started.
