1st blog post...eeek

HI, I'm new to this whole blogging for the public thing. I had a blog for almost 6yrs but it was like my private journal online. But I figured now is about as good of time as any to start one up because I wanted to share my journey with others since I'm a huge fan and stalker of Mama laughlin's blog.

I guess the best place to start is I'm 25 a married mother of one. I had my beautiful bouncing baby girl (Chloe we call her C.) a little over 7 months ago and I couldnt be happier. I have always had weight problems and in high school decided to change my life around and lost 50lbs during summer break (which was 3months). All I had to work with was two 2lb weights and an old treadmill that was given to me from an old family friend. After a few years and a few horrible boyfriends later I gained all that weight back and was very depressed.

In 2010 I met my now husband and he loved me the way I was and I didnt like how I looked but I was so wrapped up in him and our relationship that I got to where I kinda didnt care. We decided to have our first baby and thats when the weight issues came hard and fast! During my pregnancy I gained a horrible 57 POUNDS!!! The entire pregnancy I was depressed didnt want to do anything but take long hot showers and sleep.

Two weeks after I had my daughter I lost 40lbs through breast feeding and didnt have time to eat because C was a cholic baby and hardly ever slept. And by that I mean 30 mins a few times a day/night tops! It was hard on top of that I have to admit I had post pardum severely!

A little over 7months after I had C I'm FINALLY 52 pounds lighter and alot happier!
