Here we go....

So here I am. I'm a 39 yr old American woman. Mother to 2 . Wife to 1 (that isn't a given ya know....)

About a week ago I decided that I had had enough and we started a new eating style. This blog will be a way for me to keep on track and to vent. 

I started out at 5'9 290 lbs. I don't know how I got here. I've always been big but this is huge and not good.

My two kids are small and I want to be here when they are adults. I also want to be able to enjoy their childhoods with them. As it is I cannot ride a rollercoaster with them or slide down a slide. 

So it has been about a week and I'm down to 285. Not bad. Good motivation. Just such a long long LONG way to go....
