Since I can remember I have always battled with weight issues.  I was a good size growing up as a kid and then around fourth grade is when i really ballooned.  I can remember having a crush on some boys but they wouldn't even think of saying anything to them because i was afraid of them hurting my feelings.

     By the time I hit sixth grade, I began watching what I was eating and being alot more active.  I met my boyfriend, of seven years, when I was in seventh grade.  I was skinny for the most part but then highschool came up so did my weight!  I guess when you meet the love of your life, you forget to keep up with yourself.  And of course my boyfriend is skinny and doesn't gain weight. SO with that being said I ate just like he did.  But i didn't have the same results he had.

     I can remember wearing a jacket all through highschool cause I didn't want anybody noticing my weight.  At the end of my senior year i was at my highest weight between 215-220lbs.  I decided to do something about it this past Febuary and began going to gym everyday and watched what I ate.  In about a month a half, I went down from 220 down to 204.  Then in mid-March I found out that I was PREGNANT!!!

     On November 8, 2005, I gave birth to a beautiful 7lb 4oz baby girl named Kaylin Nyah.  She is my pride and joy.  My highest weight with her was 245lbs! Yikes and that is a lot for my 5'3 frame.  I am happy to report that I have lost 33 of those pounds and have begun my diet regimen with going to the gym daily and weight watchers.

     This is were my journey to a new body begins.  I want to feel confident about myself and what I wear.  I want to feel beautiful when my boyfriend looks at me and not say to myself, "Oh God, what is he thinking about me right now?!!?!?!?!?"  I want to feel as though I can accomplish anything that i put my mind into!!!
