So last night I was laying in bed trying really hard to go to sleep. My mind was just going a hundred miles a minute. One thought that crossed my mind is wow I have alway thought I was fat and how I would love to go back to the day were I just thought I was fat and not really fat! I might have been untoned but not fat! I am a tall girl about 5'10" and kinda big boned but I can also be very skinny. My senor year in high school I ware a size 6 if not smaller...what happened?!?!?!!!

This a picture of me when I thought I was fat!
I am always been a people person, I love being in the middle of everything!!! I was a cheerleader, loved to party, I lettered in everything you could get a letter in. My junior year I fell head over heals with this guy and totally forgot who I was and what I wanted for myself! I was always trying to please him and changed to do that.
It is funny now because the person I was is the person he wanted to be with the hole time, if I wouldn't have changed who knows were I would be! We dated for a year and then his parents were getting divorced and that was soo hard on him. My parents are still together so he figured that I had no idea how to relate to him.
He broke my heart, and I mean truly broke my heart! I couldn't go to school, I didn't want to face people, just people, he didn't even go to the same school. I just cried like I have never cried before. It would have easier if he would have died. The pain would be less, at least I know then that he still loved me! Just like that I became upsets'.
I laid in bed for 2 weeks, and then something in side of me clicked. I would become the perfect girl and become what he wanted. I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks and worked out like a mad women. I quite cheerleading, something I loved with all my heart. So I could get him back. I was wearing a size 6 rocky mountin jeans, and that is small! I looked great!!

This is me at my senior prom, after I had lost the 30lbs.
Then I worked like heck to get him back! He moved to Missouri after graduation and I would drive all the way out there about every weekend to see him, BTW at that time he was telling another girl he loved her. Finally after fighting like heck to get him back, I DID!!! We were back together, but it was never the same as the first time. I didn't trust him and I had a huge wall up! We dated for 3 or 4 years total and then it was over! He turned 21 and it was a sunday and he just wanted to go home ( we were living together) and watch I believe the Practice.To me, who at one time was the life of the party, thought it was really sad that when a person finally turns 21, would rather go home a watch a old persons show. After that it was just kinda done, never to talk to one another again! So.... back to me getting fat!
So from us getting back together and then breaking up again, I had put most of that 30 lbs back on but as you can see in the first picture I was never really fat like I thought! This was all in Oct. but in April I was turning 21, I lost about 20 lbs before my birthday and when my birthday hit....GAME ON!!!
I lived at the bar, I would be there everyday it was open. I drank and drank and danced and danced. Life was fun, I was becoming myself again. So the weight was slowly coming back on, not fast I mean I was dancing like I had never danced before, well dancing more than I was drinking! That went on for a 1 year or so...
Then it turned from dancing all the time to drinking way more that dancing! I was starting put on the weight, I was climbing the scales and about then was hitting about 180 or so. All my friends had boyfriends and weren't going to the bar . I started to get lonely and maybe depressed.
About then I re found my wonderful husband, and we started drinking a lot and having a good time! Three months into us dating again I got pregnant. So I remember getting on the scale when I found out I was pregnant and I hit 200 lbs. After that, the stuff hit the fan. What the heck was I doing, I really don't know this person and now I am having a baby????? CRAP!!!!! I got depressed, and I mean depressed.!! I thought I could eat anything I wanted, right, I mean I was having a baby. Did not realize that you only need 300 extra calories. I was eating probley like 4000 calories a day. I was depressed!!! I quite working and just laid around the house. Holy Crap did the weight come on!!!!!!!
After the baby, I got postpartum and at my highest weight I was about 280 or more! Depression is a hard thing and a hard thing to get over. Once you start retuning to your self, you have to face all the stuff your life has turned into! Which I am still doing!!! Not until after my 2nd baby did I start getting back to my self! Oh baby #2, was a pain in the butt, she was so sick and didn't like to sleep! So the depressing was coming back and then guess what...here comes baby 3. So now I am a stay at home mom with three babies. I am lucky with Baby #3, I felt great! After baby #3 I really did start feeling better and I want to take a shower. Sadly, I didn't have enough "want" to do my hair or put on make-up. I wore sweets all the time. Still getting out of bed was a huge effort! Darn Depression!!!!! So now #3 is going to be 2, and I am feeling really good. I have been wearing clothes and even putting on my make-up, and I am really liking my hair right now! Right now I am weighting in at 230 lbs. Which is only 30 lbs from having the baby weight gone!!! So that is how and where I am right now in my weight loss.

So this is me now, this was taken around Halloween 2009

This is me at the end of the summer 2009...I hate taking pictures so I don't have to many of them!
