My name is Angelia and I am 29 years old. I plan on making this site my new home away from home. I am building this site so I have somewhere to go to record my progress as I try to loose weight, hopefully for the last time. I haven't been over weight my whole life. It kind of snuck up on me the last year of high school in 1996 when I met my husband. I have tried almost everything I can think of to loose weight and have failed each time. My last attempt was with Weight Watchers and I lost 40 pounds. I couldn't keep counting the points and going to the meetings so when I stopped all the weight came back plus an additional 40 pounds.
I feel more motivated now than I ever did with my other attempts to loose the weight. I joined a gym, which I was going to 5 days a week walking and doing some weight lifting. I hurt my back and I kind of just stopped doing everything. I even started eating junk food again. So this time I am trying to get my new eating habits down before I start going to the gym again. Don't get me wrong I am still excersising and keeping busy I'm just doing it in other ways like swimming in the pool and doing lots of yard work and walking. I truly believe that, "motivation GETS you going, but habits KEEPS you going". So I am trying to build a habit of eating right and keeping busy so that starts to feel natural for me to be eating the right foods and doing things to keep me busy so that I can get back to going to the gym a few days a week.
I think what finally made me start thinking that I really needed to take this seriously is the fact that we have been trying to have kids for a long time and we have been unsuccessful. My dream has always been to be a mother and have a big family. We finally got pregnant in December of 2005, but lost the baby due to it growing on my fallopian tube. They had to go in and remove the baby and that was very hard for me. I kept thinking I could of prevented it somehow. Even though I know there is nothing I could of done to prevent it, I keep thinking I need to be healthy if I ever want a better chance of having a family with my husband and raising a family with him.
I hope you enjoy my site, please keep in mind that it's a work in progress. I will update it as much as possible. I am going to make my weigh-ins on Monday morning, but I will post them on Monday night when I get home from work.
