I never stuggle with my weight until around 26 but what I struggled with before was the self confidence and belief in myself that got me into the situation I was in later in life.

My younger brother Michael and I were taken away from our parents when I was 6 years old. We lived in a home with no electricity and no indoor plumbing in the middle of winter. The amount of filth in the house was deplorable. The conditions of the house were that you hear about on the news these days. And school was hell for me. We were then put in Foster Care for a few years before we placed with our grandparents. Our grandparents house was not much better and it was clean. But as bad as it was I have no doubt living there saved my life. Otherwise we would have grown up in the system. Kids who grow up in the foster care system have life so much worse.

School life was not that great either. I was the girl that everyone laughed at and people never wanted to admit they were friends with me. So I just kept to myself. My cousin Andy recently said I was the type of girl that guys never noticed in High School but after that I could not keep them away from me. And what he said was so true.

Truth is I did not know how to handle that type of attention. And I made a bunch of mistakes. I was in shape and had a great body but I never had the confidence to see it or to appreciate it. So at the age of 24 I had my first "real" relationhip. This was the biggest mistake of my life. I am still struggling to recover financially from all this man did to me. Over the course of our 6 year relationship I put on a bunch of weght and loss the little confidence I did have. That relationship ended and I was working two jobs to make ends meet and put on even more weight.

To be honest I am not sure when it happend but I one day decided to heck with it and decided enough is enough. I quit letting my childhood get in my way. And while I can never get that back I can use it to help others who have been through what I have. No one can undestand what it is like unless you have lived through it.

So I finally order Slim in 6 off BeachBody and after several times of starting and restarting I am finally on a roll. My energy and attitude have changes drastically in the last few weeks. I am no longer the scared little girl I was my whole life. I wake up in the morning looking forward to exercising and to just getting out. Life has thrown a lot of curveballs but I have overcome those and exercise has become a wonderful outlet for me. I can feel my goals becoming a reality. I can envision my hot sexy body. I had that once now I will have the confidence to go with it. But more importantly I will be a better person from the inside out for it.

I was recently diagnosed with Hypothroidism which also lead to high cholesterol. I have my thyroid levels in check but am still working on my cholesterol. I am FINALLY ready to push play and to be on my way to a slimmer,stronger and healthier me. No more excuses. I would evenutally like to help others who have suffered like I have. The people who work out hard but dont see results, eat good but still gain - people like me. I want to be able to say You can do it too!!!!!!
