How it All Began

My struggle with weight started as a teen after moving out of state and into a town of unfamiliarity. I had always been shy throughout my school years, but I became shyer once I became the target of bullying because of my shyness. One would have probably thought that this wouldn’t be the case with a private school, yet this was the case for me. The constant bullying caused me to become depressed and I turned to food for comfort. I did transfer to a different school after nearly two years, but the damage had already been done. I was at my heaviest at that time, weighing nearly 180 lbs. I was inspired to change my life around from that day forward after having a discussion with my former doctor. I started going for walks, reduced my soda intake as well as turning to food for comfort, and thought of my health in a whole new perspective. This new perspective brought me down to a healthy weight of 135 lbs.

Fast Forwarding to Years Later

I’m fast forwarding to years later! I continued to maintain a healthy weight for years and even after the birth of my son in 2006. I was down to my lowest weight (125 lbs.). I was probably in my early teen years the last time I was in that weight range! I went through a rough patch in 2009 and this resulted in old, familiar habits, and I was back to teeter-tottering between 170 – 175 lbs. I took charge of my health in the following year. I enlisted the help of a diet meal plan and had a successful weight loss that brought me back down to my ideal weight.

Since weight loss came effortlessly easy after my first pregnancy, I thought I would have the same success after the birth of my daughter in 2012. This encouraged me to sign up for the same diet meal plan that I did in 2010. Unfortunately, my results weren’t as successful as the first time around, with only a 14 lb. weight loss, even though I was adamant about sticking to the plan. Of course, I understand that our metabolism tends to get slower as we older. After that diet plan, I was eating healthier than I ever was before and was hitting the trails regularly. In 2016, those “pregnancy pounds” continued to linger up until the pregnancy with my third child. A few months after his birth, I enlisted on a different diet meal plan for 3 months and it honestly wasn’t the best experience. The food tasted like emergency ration food. I was done with diet meal plan companies after that!
