I'm 38 yrs, approaching 40 quickly. I've been married to DH for 17.5 years. We met in college 20 years ago this spring. Hard to believe I've known him more than 1/2 my life. We have 2 sons - P1 (Precious the First) is 7 and P2 (Precious, Too) is 2 yrs. They share a birthday and love each other most of the time. P1 is an intellect, enjoys soccer & wearing his hair too long. He says, "I know I will be a scientist when I grow up, but I don't know what kind of scientist God wants me to be yet." P2 is a nudist (as most 2 yr olds) and a stand up comedian. He also frequently helps himself to drinks & snacks often resulting in messes and always resulting in my laughing & grabbing my camera. You can check those pics out on my blog ugottalaff.blogspot.com.
My weight issues were always there. I was a solid child who was kept inactive due to terrible allergies & asthma (Thank goodness, there are better meds to help with that now). I thinned down in 10th grade by cutting back on sodas & eating only 1/2 of every meal. My mother tho't I was anerexic - turns out she had food issues, too. Stayed healthy/thinnish until I got married - birthcontrol pills not only triggered migraines for me but also added 5 or more pounds a year. The worst part of that was they weren't necessary at all because we can't get pregnant without major medical intervention. Fertility drugs combined with stress & emotional eating added 5 pounds a month to my body. My father-in-law getting cancer last year & moving in with us during treatment (combined with stress & emotional eating) added 10 pounds.
Those 10 pounds have melted away in the last couple of months, as that stress subsided. Having lost 10, I'd like to keep moving in the right direction. I workout 2x a week at our church gym. But I eat horribly. My biggest weakness, drive thru breakfast after dropping P1 at school. That and Sonic Happy Hour. I'm intelligent enough to know what it takes to lose weight. I just haven't found the right motivation. Now my mom has lost 50 pounds & she's giving me her fat clothes. I can't stand it. Also, when I realize how old I'll be when P2 graduates from high school, I know I've got to take better care of myself.
Thanks, Athena, for all your love. I think you're the greatest.
