I love to eat delicious foods, especially pastas and Mexican dishes. In the process, I became morbidly obese (my doctor told me that horrible word and I thank him for it). During the 2011 holidays, I made a commitment to lose a lot of weight after seeing a family picture that showed big, fat ME. I had never seen myself so fat. To see myself so large was very depressing. Til this day, I remember that picture and I never wanna be there again. In 2012, I lost 59 lbs. In 2013, I continued to lose weight until I met my new love. Since being with him, I have gained 18 lbs in just 9 short months. I'm not blaming him. My choice to eat so many sweets and carbs is what has led to my weight gain. I'm hoping this site can help me stay motivated. Wish me luck :)
