Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

I was pretty fit and active growing up and in High School but when I got married and pregnant right away with our first child things changed. I became really depressed as I kept gaining weight no matter what I did. I eventually stopped worrying about it and decided to just eat right for the rest of my pregnancy and stay as active as I could thinking it would all just come off afterwards. We had our first baby and with the stress of being newlyweds and having a newborn I never lost much weight. When our daughter was just 8 months old I found out I was pregnant once again. Thinking that all my hard work was just going to go down the drain I once again stopped working out but this time I didn't really watch what I ate and ate whatever I felt like at the time. I gained much more weight than my doctor suggested and was starting to slide into a depression once more. Right after we had our second child my husband found out he was getting deployed. My mom being the smart woman she is made me come and stay with her while he was gone. She pushed me to join a gym and watched my two children every morning so I could get some much needed exersize. I lost over 40 pounds while my husband was deployed and was feeling great about myself. My husband came home and once again I got pregnant. I was a little more careful about what I ate this time around and was more active but I was once again becoming deeply depressed when the scale hit the highest I have ever seen it...205lbs!!! Some weight slowly came off after I had our 3rd (and last child) but never went below 198. I finally just got used to it and I honestly thought that I didnt look that bad. Then came Thanksgiving 2008. My family had pictures taken and when I saw them 8 months later I was shocked! I didn't realize how big I was until I saw myself sitting and standing next to all of my fit family members. I never thought that my mom would be skinnier than me! Those pictures changed my life. That day I decided that I didn't want to be the fat one in the family and that's why I'm here!
