*Heather's Weight loss journey* My name's Heather. I'm 25 years old. I have always been heavy, growing up and it hurt alot when other kids would make fun of me. Later as years went by, it eventually spread throughout my body, making me not look so heavy. I've always been scared, after reading an article that said after age 30 your skin is harder to tone, so you will have saggy skin, I've always been scared of that, so I'm ready to make a change. I can remember when I was active, and loved to play sports. I don't know what happened to that part of my life. It could have been factors of several things growing up, that I won't elaborate on at the moment. I moved when I was 16, and started a different high school where we had P.E. and I remember it being the one thing I hated. I hated being the last one everyone was waiting for, or the snide, rude remarks kids made in the locker rooms. I would wait to shower till I got home because I never felt open enough to share that part of myself with anyone, not even my parents. I hate knowing that I did this to my body. I only have one body and I'm destroying every bit of it by not taking care of it. When I met my husband we both were overweight, but as the years went on and after getting married, I have gained 120 lbs, and it kills me to see that I let it get that bad. Every time I would go into the doctor for my annuals, I would always get a lecture of how much weight I have gained. I felt like I've worked on it then gave up, then tried again, and something stopped me. I would have will power and then stop after doing it for 2 weeks, and I've not stuck with it that long. I am not determined to not stop and start because if I do, I'll never make it. I was told you gain weight when you get married because you are happy, but being happy in my marriage is killing me inside of being happy for myself. I am currently at the heaviest I've ever been and I'm 360 lbs. My husband and I have decided to start trying for a family, but I'm figuring the reason I'm not getting pregnant is because I am so heavy. I am currently wanting to get to my dream weight of at least 160 if not lower. I am determined to push myself to make this dream come true. I am ready to be healthier, ready to make my life better. I want to be able to wear a shirt that I don't have to constantly pull down to make it not snug me, I'm ready to fit into my pants and not constantly have to pull them up. So from here on out I'm losing, not gaining! I'm always open for motivation tips, and encouragement.
