About Me
Hi, my name is Lacey and I’m 29 years old. I have fought with my weight since I graduated High School, and have made it my personal goal to be at my goal weight by my 30th birthday, which is March 16 of 2008. To get there I have need to lose 75 pounds. If I lose at a rate just under 2 lbs per week I will make my goal.
I have had a lot of issues with turning 30 next year. I just feel that I haven’t accomplished anything worthwhile at this point in my life. I really don’t feel 30 years old. So, in order to make myself feel better about 30 I set 2 large goals. The first is to stick with WW and reach my goal weight by my 30th birthday, and the second is to find my birth mother. I was adopted at birth,and my adoptive family is awesome; however, I would like to meet my birth mother if only to say “thank you” and “I am happy with the choice you made for me”. I would also like some health information for when I decide to have kids. If she doesn’t want to have a relationship with me I think I will be OK with that, but just to have the opportunity to thank her means a lot to me.
Once I set these 2 goals for myself I am actually getting a little more excited about the prospect of turning 30. So for myself I think I have set good goals.
I am single but live with my boyfriend, we live in a small town in Washington. No kids, but we have 2 dogs that are the light of our eyes. I work full time and enjoy camping, fishing and the outdoors. I love playing on the computer and hanging out with friends.
I also love to travel. My DBF andI are going to Hawaii in January ‘08 and I really want to be more comfortable in my body by then. I’m not asking for miracles or anything here, just want to be comfortable enough to let loose a little. I am so excited for the trip to Hawaii. We are also going to Montana to the “Marlboro Ranch” in September. I don’t smoke but DBF does, he won a trip for two, all expenses paid so how could I turn down the opportunity of this, even if it does mean exposing my lungs to an extremely high amount of second hand smoke for a few days. I am very excited for this trip too, my goal is to have lost 25 pounds by September 15th when this trip is.
Lacey,
I have looked a little at your site (and intend to read the whole thing), and I am so proud of you! You’re doing good, and you’re looking good! I can definitely tell the difference in your progress pictures. I was also interested in your goal to find your birth mother. I don’t know why I am so interested in that topic, but I just am. I am 52, more the age of your mother, than of you, but it’s a topic I’ve always loved. You know when you see things about people meeting their birth family on TV? I just love those shows. And recently I met a new friend who’s only 2 days older than me, and found out that she’s adopted and wanting to find her mother. I’ve been working on it a little for her, on the internet, but haven’t really gotten too far yet. She is one of those type people who is not very “administrative”. She doesn’t really have a clue where to look or what to do. I found an application on line for her to fill out for the state she was born in, but she hasn’t done anything with it yet, and since she’s such a new friend, I can’t really ask her for her personal information and do it for her. Her step father is old, and can’t remember much, to tell her. And he is remarried to a “witch” so most of the years that he was young enough to tell her anything, the witch was always in the way, making it hard for her to garner any information. I think her step Mom died a while ago. Anway…it’s just fun to me, and I hope you have great luck! Also good luck to you in the weight department too! I have struggled with my weight all of my life. The funny part is that when I look back upon how much I weighed when I was young, and was struggling with my weight, it really wasn’t that bad. As you get old, it gets much worse, so once you get it off, do everything you can do, to keep it off.
