About Me
I am 26 years old. I am well traveled and well educated, I love to learn. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I am full of emotions, but I am also a good listener. Music moves me, to the point where sometimes I am brought to tears. I love to Salsa dance, and I love Bikrams Yoga (although I have a love hate relationship with it sometimes). I love hockey, Les Habitants. I prefer pubs and hockey games over clubs and head games. I run away from conflict, I run away from emotions, and sometimes I run, because I need to get away. I think a lot. I read a lot. I love to get into a heated debate. I love laughter…sometimes it eases the pain. I love my family. I love my brothers and I love my parents. I have amazing friends, I have fantastic conversations with them. I love conversations, the kind that makes you stop and think! I love the rain.
I want to lose this weight, so that I can finally start my life over again. I want to start in a new city, in a new world, wide eyed and bushy tailed, but not as a fat person, rather as a healthy person. Being this overweight is extremely unhealthy. Diabetes runs in my family, heat disease runs in my family, and I do not want to be a victim of my genes. I want to break through those barriers. I want to be healthy before my next birthday (May 12th). I want to feel good about myself, I want others to take note of me. I want to be the center of attention. I am smart and funny, and I have a lot of great ideas…but I feel like my weight sometimes holds me back.
Thanks for the support on my page! I can relate to some of what you feel. I had heart surgery at age 15, and being overweight was just asking for more trouble. My grandfather dies of heart disease at 36, and my dad at 34. When I turned 30 last year, I decided to take my life back. No food tastes good enough to leave my husband and my two kids.
Best of luck with your journey. I checked out your progress and you are really doing great!
