Beginning Again

My 30th birthday, March 2014. (6 months pregnant)

I've always been overweight as long as I can remember. I never developed a healthy relationship with food for whatever reason I always used it for comfort. When I was stressed or angry, upset, sad, happy, whatever emotion I had food always made it better. I've tried so many ways to lose weight. When I was in America, before my wedding, I was even looking into having lap-band surgery. I must have been well over 400lbs approaching 450, I don't know for sure because I never stepped on a scale. Well fast forward 5 1/2 years, I'm now married, living in Cork with my husband and my beautiful daughter. Since moving here I've been able to lose some weight. I'm now 370lbs or 26st 4lbs. I rejoined Weight Watchers for the third time in January. I've decided to start a blog with hopes that it will help me stay motivated. I need to lose weight at this point in my life. I've got a small baby girl who's almost 8 months old. She needs to have a positive role model in her life. Someone to teach her to love herself and her body, someone to teach her to have a healthy relationship with food. Someone to chase after her in the park and ride bikes with.

There are so many things I want to be able to do with her that I don't think I could do now, at my current weight. She is my motivation. I am going to try my hardest this time to follow through with my goal. So I hope that you will join me on my journey. It's going to be a long one, but mamma's losin it...one way or another!
