A little bit about me... this one always makes me think way too hard because I want to say who is in my life which is only part of my life not who I am. My name is Jeannie, I'm 30 years old, I'm a mother, a wife, a friend, a sister, and a teacher. I don't know how are why when your parents get divorced it screws you up, but it does. I never had a problem with my weight until my mom decided she didn't want to be married to my dad anymore when I was 12 years old. I was also raised in a household where junk food was always available, there was deserts with every meal, and to this day I have never seen either one of my parents exercise. At 30, I see the unhealthy ways of my upbringing and I want better for my family. I don't want my daughter to struggle with her weight and her lack of self esteem because of it. Honestly, breaking this cycle is a daily struggle, but I'm determined to give my family the best life that I can. This web site makes me take a look at myself and holds me accountable.
