Dear Sara,

To be honest, I believe I am just like everyone else and terrible at writing these! I always feel like I am writing a dating ad! : )

I am sure I will add to this as I go along, but here goes!

I am 23 years old, 5 foot 10 inches. You can check out my current weight on the home page. I work as a Chiropractor Assistant and front desk Receptionist for a VERY busy Chiropractic Office. I absolutely LOVE my job and the people I work with.

I have always been the “big” girl. I remember in elementary, middle, and even high school always being bigger than my friends and teachers would always ask me to get stuff for them off top shelves and such. Both of my parents were always large as well. My mom has recently lost close to if not over 100 pounds in the last few years. All she did was change her eating habits. She works retail so she’s always on her feet and on the go at work. My dad has also lost weight but I’m not sure how much to be exact, but enough to need LOTS of new clothes. He’s always been a bit on the unhealthy side, and due to alot of medical issues he HAD to lose weight or his life was at risk. I DO NOT want my life to be like that.

I decided, with a little reality check from my boyfriend of almost 4 years, that it was time to get my head on straight and GET FIT & HEALTHY! I want to get myself taken care of and headed in the right direction before we take the big plunge and get MARRIED. I want a family also. And there is no way I would ever dream of becoming pregnant at my weight.

So this is my journey. My new life. To being a healthier and more fit ME!
