On the first day……

Well here I am starting a blog about me and my weight issues.

Let me start by telling you all a little about me. I am a WAHM of 3. I have a wonderful skinny husband. I own an in-home daycare and I am a part-time bookkeeper for an electrician. I am also involved in a few online companies. I am pretty busy to say the least.

I have gained so much weight in the last 5 years. I am weighing in at 244 lbs. I am 5′4″ with a medium build. In my mind I only weigh about 150, but then I look in the mirror and reality hits and hits hard. Logically, I know how I got to this point, but mentally, I can’t believe or do not want to believe. I have been a Weight Watchers member before and I have had success with it about 7 years ago. But I went off the plan and have never returned to it. I am trying to find my way back. I am not at all happy with the way I look. In fact I have started not wanting to go out because I feel like I have nothing to wear and that I will not look good. My son (12) hasn’t said it, but I think he is starting to be embarrassed by my appearance.

    I know how you feel! I have a 12 year old at home, too, though often I try to see what will embarass him.

    I’ve discovered he doesn’t like it when I sing disco tunes to the radio while we’re in the car. :)

    Good luck with it all! I know you can do it!
