My name is Cloryssa and I am 35 Years old. I am a mother of two beautiful boys who are 10 and 12 years old who are very active but myself, not so much. I was not always an obese woman if you count kindergarten through sixth grade; but once I hit seventh grade, the pounds stacked on. I can't even remember when I wore a size smaller than an eleven other then in my elementary years. I do however remember going on a starvation diet and an exercise program the summer after I completed the eight grade. Denise Austin came on television Monday through Friday at 12:00am, and I did her program religiously and needless to say, I lost a lot of weight. I went from a size 13 to a size 9 and I was so happy and proud of myself. I was still a little heavier and thicker than the rest of the school girls my age, but I was still satisfied because at least I was not a size 13. Well, that lasted all of one year, because I blew back up to a size 13 where I remained for most of my life. Fast forwarding to age 22, I fell in love and got married still wearing a size 13 which my husband did not seem to mind at all. He would say I was curvaceous and voluptuous which is what attracted him to me. Then at age 23 my first son was born and we decided to move to my husband’s home state. There at age 24 my other son was born and I gained a tremendous amount of weight tipping the scales at 278 pounds. My own family and friends did not recognize me when they came to visit. That was the worst time of my life. I became depressed, unhappy and just plain miserable to the point where it took its toll on my marriage and by age 27 my husband and I got a divorce. At that point, my whole outlook on life changed. I went and got a gym membership where I worked out 2-3 hours a day 6 days a week and I changed my eating habits to a high protein low carb diet which worked great for me because I started losing weight drastically. After 4 months I weighed 228 pounds, moved back home to Hawaii and I joined a Police Force there. I still was not considered physically fit, so I keep up with my diet and exercise I ended up losing 100 pounds total in 9 months weighing 178 pounds and wearing a size 11 again. I was so happy with my accomplishment and with myself that I guess it shot straight to my head because I took a break from working out and my diet. After about a year of keeping the weight off, eventually it started working its way into my life. I knew I was gaining the weight back, but somehow, I just could not get motivated to do something about it. I would start working out and dieting again and then by the third week I would stop. That was a constant thing. Now I am 35 years old and I am a whopping 278 pounds again and wearing a size 26. I now hate shopping again, going out with my friends, putting on my uniform, and even going in my closet to pick out an outfit, because nothing fits. Which brings me to this one lonely night, I was babysitting my nephew and I saw the infomercial on slim in 6 and thought, what the heck, I have nothing else to lose but everything to gain. So I ordered it and it went into my workout library. I am so unhappy with myself yet I have no motivation to do anything. My body aches in so many areas it's to many to count. I feel like I am about 80 years old. The smallest things like climbing a set of stairs tires me out and honestly, it's very sad because I now rely on my two sons to do all the carrying and lifting of everything because we live on the third floor of our apartment complex. I am so frustrated as well as angry with myself that I now know that it is truly time for a change. So with that being said, I'M GOING TO GET MY SEXY BACK AND THIS TIME I’M KICKING BUTT AND TAKING NAMES. I'M DOING SOMETHING ABOUT MY WEIGHT AND NO MORE EXCUSES STARTING WITH TODAY.....
