Most people get their permit when they turn 15. I never really had a need to drive, always having some kind of easily accessed transportation avaliable. Now however, I find that i need to be able to go places on my own time and the bus is too much of a pain. Here’s to hoping I can pass the wretched test!

My daughter was born 2 years ago. i gained about 30 pounds. why she needed the extra coushioning I’m not entirely sure, but that’s okay ( she weighed 7 lbs) After that a lovely depo shot served to add another amount that I really could have done without.
This goal has eluded me for the longest time. No matter what I do, it seems that I just cant get rid of the weight, but I refuse to give up and noone else should either! It’s discouraging to get on the scale after a week of saying no to delicious chocolate cake, only to see that somehow you gained a pound, but it is not half as bad as the alternative. Aside from the health issues some people have ( I say some because not all people with extra weight are unhealthy, or unhappy) I personally HATE clothes shopping. I love clothes, don’t get me wrong there. What i hate is seeing myself in the mirror, almost like time has frozen and I’m still waiting for my baby to be born. I don’t know about anyone else, but I realllly hate that.
I want to wear my prebaby clothes and damnit! I am going to!
I found the gym is helping me get into the excersise mode, and having food poisoning so much last year has helped me eat better, although I don’t recccomend that. A buddy helps too, I luckily have my mom.

If you’re getting discouraged, don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’re all in this boat together sort of ( well the ones that have this goal). You can do it!!!!

Dieting, yes, it has coaxed me into eatting healthier. No more of the fast food cheeseburgers that have a bah-zillion calories. ( which is fine because beef makes me feel not so good). Now I am looking more for chicken breast, or yogurt, or salads. Granted, getting food poisoning more than once last year did have sooommmething to do with that.
So far getting in the habit is not too terribly hard. I choose home cooked meals over going out, allowing me to make sure that the ingredients are healthy and cooked in a way that is satisfactory ( as opposed to slathered with grease and then deep fried and then slathered with more grease).
