All my life, I have had a hard time keeping weight off--thank goodness elemenary through high school, I was actively involved in sports. I never really worried about it all that much. Beginning at an early age, I did have an unhealthy addiction to food--emotional binging, and am still learning to control it.

All my life, I have had a hard time keeping weight off--thank goodness elemenary through high school, I was actively involved in sports. I never really worried about it all that much. Beginning at an early age, I did have an unhealthy addiction to food--emotional binging, and am still learning to control it.
My big weight gain (50 lbs) really started when alot of my stress and depression began in 2000. The stress has not gone away-family issues. I have never dealt with them in a productive way-unless you consider smoking, emotional eating, and the occasional binge drink--progress. ~ha~
To add to the stress and being overweight, I have a very bad body image of myself. One of my biggest goals, besides becoming healthy, fit, and learning how to deal with my stress, is to put on a bikini. For years now(except for my honeymoon), I have not worn a bathing suit. It's incredibly sad I can't just live my life and be happy, and now I've just moved to the beach--so what are the odds--I can't enjoy myself....enough about me :)
My plan is to use Turbo Jam, train for a 5K which is the last weekend of January 2009, learn to eat healthy, deal with my emotional stress, and quit smoking.
