During the course of a bad break up I lost 40 lbs. At 145lbs, I had never been closer to my high school weight of 138 in 5 years. I was happy, my belly was flat and love handles non-existant. I could even see sunshine through my thighs.

One happy relationship later, I had gained 25lbs back. That relationship ended badly too, and I looked foward to losing the happy pudge. But....it never came off.

More than four years later, I have gained 25 pounds and reached my highest weight of 196.4lbs. I am hypoglycemic and a carb and food addict. I have body image issues and the more weight I gain, the sexier and stronger I feel. When I lose weight, it takes days for my body to adjust from feeling weak and ugly to liking the new me.

So I am here to work on all of that and get to a healthy weight, work on strength training, control my blood glucose issues, and work on my body image issues.
