Self obsession. I am guilty of it as are many women/men. In my case I was self loathing. Weight has ALWAYS been an issue and a struggle for me. When I say always I mean literally. I was overweight in elementary school. Numerous books have been written and thousands of studies have been done researching what contributes to obesity and childhood obesity. In my case it was not a lack of love or affection in my family nor was it that unhealthy food was being made but rather an addiction to food. Sounds like a cop out right? I was fat because I was addicted to food...well it's true. There are drug addicts, sex addicts, alchoholics, all addicted to something letting it grip them and take hold of their lives. Food did this to me. I overrate thinking a normal portion size would never be enough. I went for seconds every meal, and whatever sweets were around I indulged in. This began my long hard battle with weight and lack of activity or excercise eventually leading to a size 26 pant ad a weight of 315lbs in high school. I was miserable. More on this later my friends :)

Love God. Love yourself.

I have received many messages and texts asking how I lost weight, what I eat, what my workout plan is like, and how I stay motivated. I have decided to start blogging about my current and past weight loss journey to encourage and hopefully motivated others. We are loved :)
