I have been overweight my whole life. I can remember getting made fun of on the playground for being overweight. One day I had enough and decided to stop eating so much and I became anorexic in high school. From then on Ive had a bad relationship with food. I eventually hit the College scene and lost weight and became active until I got pregnant. I decided my bad decisions could not hurt this innocent baby so I went home to live in Austin to raise her. My daughter is my little angel and I love her so much. I met husband and he also had a son my daughter's age....talk about something in common! We fell in love and got married in 2010. We have had our ups and downs and I was with him as he struggled with alcohol and rehab. I always focus my attention on my kids and his problems and eventually gave up on my own. I stopped taking care of myself and gained a lot of weight..... like 100 lbs. Eating out and fast food are the main culprits. I would have months of motivation and work out and lose weigh off and on but I keep gaining it back plus some....I would get frustrated and so focused on my husbands drinking problem to avoid my own over eating. I was walking through the store about two months ago and a kid said ": mom look at how big that lady is" and I started crying. I knew I gained weight but it was now becoming embarrassing. I don't go out with friends, I work and come home and sit and watch tv. I cant fit in booths any more, I cant put on socks, my house is a mess cause im too overweight to clean, I get winded going up the stairs and cant pick stuff up. My daughter is embarrassed by me and it is so embarrassing! I went to a free consultation with True Results and left feeling like a light was at the end of the tunnel, I cried all the way home! Its time for me now, if I don't do this I wont be around to see my family grow. I want to have a baby with my husband some day and this is one step closer to that dream. Time for me now!!!!
