Maternity Photo?

Well, this might be a decent maternity image . . . if I were actually pregnant! :-(

I'm starting this journal to document my weight loss journey in a creative way, hopefully keeping me motivated to lose the weight I need to lose so that I no longer look pregnant when I'm not . . . but also because I'd really like to be pregnant and cannot fathom trying until I get back to a better size and health.

I've struggled with my weight almost all my life. I've also worked very hard many times to lose weight. I lost 75 pounds in 2006, then gained it all back as I dealt with a stressful work situation . . . In 2008-2009, I lost 85 pounds, finding myself lighter than I had been in years. Then, I got pregnant, and gained during the pregnancy, but also afterward . . . So, here I am, needing to lose about 90 pounds, and really wanting to change. For me, for my family, for life.

Today's weight: 251.4

I plan to post at least once a week. I thank you for joining in my journey and for any encouragement you can offer along the way . . . to keep me on track. Thank you in advance.
