My Motivation

This is all relatively new for me, eating right, exercising, losing weight. I have always been overweight. I remember gaining a lot of weight the summer of my 2nd grade year. I was 7. I have never really tried very hard to lose weight before. I know now is the time. I am 23, and on blood pressure medicine. I know that has a lot to do with my weight. The change has to start with me, and for me, so I am starting now! I am totally ready to shake off these pounds and feel good about myself for the first time in my life. I need to do this for me, and to teach my daughter healthy eating habits. That is something I was never taught. I want to do things different with her. She was born 7 weeks early, due to my blood pressure. She was in the NICU for almost three weeks. I never want to go through that again, but I do want more children...someday. I need to be healthy first. I will try to add a picture of myself at least once a month to show how much weight I am losing! I am really excited. Thanks for joining me on my journey.
I am doing weight watchers, and working out 2x a week to start with.
Beginning weight 195, that was 6 days ago, I am now 192.
