Another beginning

I'm 27. For 27 years, I have been overweight. Well, that's what my mom tells me anyway. For as long as I can remember, I was getting criticized for being fat. My mom would always tell me how I have a pretty face, but if I don't lose weight, no one will ever love me.

I know, pretty harsh right? Especially for a nine year old.

Let's just say, I always had self esteem issues. Needless to say, my mom's kind words never motivated me. It just made me want to prove her wrong. Fast forward to 2006. I meet JK. He is overweight too, but handsome and wonderful. We fall in love and have been there ever since. My fat ass got me some love. Before I met JK, I was on a path to weight loss. I had been going to the gym 3-4 times a week, eating salads most nights. We started dating, and we started to go out. A lot. We move in together, we started cooking for eachother. A lot. And not always the healthiest. Can anyone say Cheese! We also spend so much time together, I didn't have time for the gym. My good gym habits were kaput. But I have love.

I started seeing a Nutritionist. I have lost about 10 pounds just from changing what and how I eat. I have been a pescatarian for over 10 years. I have made the decision to start to eat poultry. Today. I don't mind meat eaters. I started out being a peta type. You know meat is murder. I grew up, now it's more of a textural thing. But I need more protein on my plate. Fish and soy and beans. It got old. So I decided to try turkey and chicken.

I am starting this blog to keep me honest. and hopefully, my own goals will become reality. Wish me luck.
