Intro

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for reading about me. To get started I am an African-American woman. I am as of today 38 years old with 2 living children and a husband (meaning I have 3 kids.). I am going to be completely transparent about this journey. Today I did not weigh myself. I actually have not been on a scale in weeks. Its not my friend.

This will be mostly about my weight journey. I will post about other things. Trust me, my life can be a little crazy with two (three, my husband) teenagers, a fulltime job, a broken bird (Jackson), and a big family. I will not be giving advice. Mainly because I am not well versed in anything other than parenting.

So down to the nitty gritty. At my last weight in so long ago I was 202.3lbs. I am 5' 6".  This is not good for my joints feet or lungs. Since hitting 175lbs, I have been diagnosed with asthma, an issue I never had before.

In all honesty the weight gain came from depression and poverty. Did you know that you can cause an excessive weight gain by not eating. I would eat once a day for years and then suddenly I realized that I'm getting real big and I'm barely eating. There were times I had to feed the boys rather than eat. They were well fed in those times.

So over the last 4 years I have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight. I joined a gym. I changed my eating habits and I got active for a few days. I am so unmotivated to keep going. So today I decided that maybe if I have a few accountability partners maybe this will help me work harder.

So world, come with me on this journey. There will be ups downs and hopefully a lot of laughter as I hope to see my weight shed until I'm comfortable with me. My goal is to be 145ish.

So I started a vitamin regime, vitamin pack I take has been life changing over this last week. I will talk more about that next time.
Later guys,
Yaya
