I was 305 pounds in 2004. It was my highest weight ever - at that point. Then my (now) ex-husband left me - with a 3 year old to support. So I got a job as a waitress and proceeded to lose 90 pounds in a year. I felt awesome. I could do things I never could before. Like...climb stairs and not run out of breath. Get out of bed without my knees hurting. Play with my son and not get tired in 3 minutes. Everyday stuff like that.

In September of 2007 I met my (now) husband. He is amazing, my best friend and the true love of my life. Problem was...I liked to impress him by cooking for him. And so I proceeded to slowly gain all my weight back - and then some.

Now it's 2011. And I again weigh 305 lbs. - and then some, for a grand total of 320 pounds.
My highest weight, ever. Along with all the fat, came all the health problems. I now have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anemia, and enough liver fat to make my doctor worried.
It's time to get off the couch again. I'm poor, I'm broke - I don't have gym memberships, workout gear or money to buy really expensive special health food. I can't afford Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. But I have my feet. So I will eat less, and move more, until I lose the weight again.
