My Story

Hello all and welcome to my blog! I've never done this before so please bear with me as I get a feel for it.
The Backstory:
I've struggled with my weight since middle school... going straight from children's sizes to a size 11 or 13 in juniors, much to the horror of my mother.
In highschool I maintained that weight until I had my first serious boyfriend. As a young, very insecure, girl this was all the motivation I needed to lose weight. To my delight I got down to 120. A healthy weight for my 5'1" petite frame.
In the couple years following highschool I had to work at staying thin (I went through 3 different gym memberships) but I never made it above 130.
It was about 5 years ago when I stopped trying consistently enough and my weight got out of control. By April of 2010 I had ballooned to 200lbs and couldn't stand to look at my self in the mirror.
I tried to blame living with my boyfriend (who can live on junk food and not gain a pound).... but the reality was that I need to be accountable for my own actions. Newly engaged, I joined the gym last April and started on my path to freedom.
I had a wedding coming up and BOOM... insert motivation. I got married this past April and have lost 35lbs in just over a year. My husband has been a wonderful support system. He even eats vegetables now when his motto used to be, "if it's green, it's mean".
Today:
Now that the wedding is over I'm struggling to find motivation. I want it... I REALLY do. But at what cost?
