I started struggling with my weight shortly after high school. When I got pregnant with my first child at 24, I gained 50 lbs. I was able to lose over 70 lbs. But two more pregnancies, 50 and 60 lbs gained each and not much lost in between- I was miserable.
I started running, which did wonders for my body and soul, and was on my way to getting back to where I wanted to be. But then life again
I started struggling with my weight shortly after high school. When I got pregnant with my first child at 24, I gained 50 lbs. I was able to lose over 70 lbs. But two more pregnancies, 50 and 60 lbs gained each and not much lost in between- I was miserable.
I started running, which did wonders for my body and soul, and was on my way to getting back to where I wanted to be. But then life again got in the way, and with three kids, a husband that works on the road, and owning a small business- I gained it all back again. I felt miserable again, depression, pre-diabetic, high blood pressure.
I did some major re-evaluating, and decided to close my business, which was the major source of stress in my life and was taking way too much away from my family. I've gone back to college at age 32, with children ages 4, 6 and 8. My life is still stressful, but in a good way, I'm working towards a goal that I can be proud of. Pursuing a nursing degree, I'm learning so much about the body, and finally it all clicked- I'm not healthy, and I need to change that before it's too late. So here I am!
