About Me and My Battle with Weight Loss
I live in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania. I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, but born in Jamaica West Indies. My husband and I decided to make a change for ourselves and our family, so we moved to Pennsyltucky (Pennsylvania). Since moving to Pennsylvania, my overweight issues became a real problem to me after realizing that a high percentage of the women in Pennsylvania are obese.
I made a drastic change in my life on August 1, 2007. Since that date, I have lost 84 pounds. This was a very TOUGH battle for me and I am still fighting this battle. I am very petite, 5"0 and I use to weigh 230 pounds. I now live at the gym and gave up eating all of the foods that I enjoyed eating, which of course was bad for me. I must admit that I do cheat at times and when I do cheat, I just put in an extra 10 to 15 minutes in the gym.
I have drastically reduced my starch and sugar intake. I have also become a total gym buff. I have taken on many different physical activities such as, boxing, kick boxing, running, swimming, and Tea Bo. I love Yoga, but my knees will not permit me to do it. I feel like a brand new woman and now I just can't stop looking in the mirror at myself NAKED. Since losing the weight, I now look ten years younger. My daughter and I now look like sisters.
Now that I have lost so much weight, it has changed my outlook in life and my marriage. The sexual part still needs work because of my husband's health issues, but that will be another topic. At this point in my life I can definitely say that I feel so SEXY.
