I stayed there for a long time until I had my gall bladder out - major surgery that was totally my fault. Then I lost about 30 pounds and hovered around 150 for a few years. That was good. I started exercising and have never stopped. I then lost another 15. Now I hover between 127 (very rare) and sadly 145. Most of the time I am slightly more than 135. Right now I am at 133 and quite happy but I would like to get down to 127 again. I feel so much better and love wearing clothes which used to simply cover my body. I feel like my kids are in great places health and exercise wise and would not be without my modeling or maybe wouldn't be. I can't take all the credit. It used to worry me when I was big what they thought. TG that is behind me. I will NEVER be that big again. It has been many years now and even though I do gain some it is usually the holidays and I lose. This year I stayed more under control and did not gain as much. Yeah me!

I was always the heavier one out of all of my friends and then after having kids I got the biggest I had in my whole life and then I started running. I hope to get to my goal weight this year. I am such an emotional eater!

I think so many of us have struggled with nutrition/weight loss issues over the years because we are never taught the RIGHT way to go about it, and then society is shoving diet pills and quick fixes down our throats everywhere we turn. I'm glad you found a healthy outlet in running. You look fantastic!! congrats!Relentless Forward Commotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994114843561430941noreply@blogger.com
