[color=blue][size=7][font=Arial][b] Hi, my name is Kristin. I am 24-almost 25- and am a mom of a 3 year old boy. I was always the "fat kid", I was on Jenny Craig in 8th grade. It worked, but as soon as I stopped eating their foods I gained even more weight...at 18 I was determined to not be fat anymore. I lost alot of weight, too fast and not in a healthy way. At 19 I had the opportunity to spend some time on my body and self-esteem. I got into great shape and felt great too. I did pretty well at keeping the weight off and I ate quite healthy. Then when I got pregnant at 21, I was 154 lbs, 147 was my lowest and people were getting worried. I gained 50 pounds when I was pregnant. I went down to about 175 the first 2 years of my son's life...then this past year I have gone to 192. It is scaring the crap outta me. I DO NOT want to see that 200 on the scale ever again. I promised myself that I wouldn't put myself through that again. I LOVE to cook and I have 4 other people to cook for each night. I find it to be very difficult to cook to everyones liking and still keep things semi healthy. And honestly those "healthy" foods are much more expensive. I am totally addicted to pop. I don't think it is even the caffine that I want, it is the pop. I know that it is a major issue with my weight gain. I also know that I need to stop eating late at night....but although I know these things, I can't seem to do anything about it. My old self can't find any answers other than just not eating, and I will not go back to that life. But I also can't afford to buy more clothes as I am growing out of my "fat" clothes. I've learned that trying to set forth new rules for yourself on a weekend is a bad idea....so Mon. will be the begining of my food journal. I will write what I ate, how much, what time of day, how I am feeling, what I am doing and why I am eating. Maybe if I can see my scheduled habbits layed out on the table, I will be able to see how I can change things. I am looking forward to getting to know other people that are looking for a life change and hope to find support and advise, as well as give it. ~Kristin :P
