This is a big post for me to write, I have struggled with my weight pretty much my ENTIRE life. As a child, I remember the mean comments made by kids on the playground which got worse as a teenager. I loved food, hell I still do! I am always thinking about my next meal and have always said that I feel hungry majority of the day. My mom and dad always pushed us (my sisters and I) to work out and eat healthy (they were obsessed with both). We definitely participated, but I also think I pushed back a lot because as a teenager, it was JUST WHAT I DID (insert eye roll to myself).
Now, as a 41-year-old woman it has come full circle for me. I have had two children; I have gone UP (a lot) and down (slightly) in my 30’s and I decided I was over it!!! I have spent too much time hating the body I am in.
