This is my journey of discovery and how I have changed over the last couple years. I have had 2 babies in the last 2 years. Faith was born and then 18 months later Lily was born. I know there are some women out there frustrated, beating themselves up for gaining weight for what ever reason. I am writing this Blog for you! If you want to change your lifestyle and need some support I am here. I am hoping to help you, and in turn help myself stay accountable at the same time.
I LOVE FOOD! Especially fatty fried and sugary food!I believe I was addicted to "SUGAR". You know the white refined kind. Ooh not to mention CHOCOLATE, CHEESE, BUTTER, Sugary CEREAL, PIZZA , BREAD ETC. ETC.

March 2008
My first baby Shower that my Husband's family had for us.
I was ready to have this little one, very uncomfortable!
MARCH 2008
I had to make this picture -large so you could see the scale
Yes! (I was actually excited) I knew it was almost time to have my baby because I weighed 197 POUNDS! I usually weigh about 200+ when I am about to deliver. It doesn't matter what I weighed when I got pregnant... I always weigh 200 pounds before I have my babies. (This is what I kept thinking over the course of my pregnany) Get to 200 and you are ready.......not a good thing.
End of March 2008
At another baby shower....I have such sweet friends I am still grateful for all the love and support people showed us.

MY FAMILY CHRISTMAS TIME 2008
JANUARY 2009 (Faith is 9 months old)
Ok so I got down to my pre-pregnancy weight (about 162) by running and walking. I would run and walk with Faith buckled in her car seat that attached into her stroller...... I was pregnant here and didn't know it yet!(the only half way decent pic I could find)
And YES I do know what causes PREGNANCY :)
FEBRUARY 23rd
Notice the food (Red Lobster) it my son's 10th Birthday he loves this place. LOTS OF BUTTER! Who doesn't love everything drenched in butter!
APRIL 11th 2008
Faith's 1st Birthday
At this point I wasn't running anymore, I had to stop because I was having sciatic pain....no more exercising for me. I hadn't gained much weight..... yet. I was doing good because I was keeping track of what I was eating on a cool website that I could keep track of the calorie, fat etc.
MAY 2009
Dana's end of the school year Field Trip
JUNE 26th 2009
with Maggie on her 6th Birthday....
I know I am pregnant but my food choices at the time started to consist of of 2 things BEN AND JERRY!!! 
or anything SUGARY or FATTENING! When I was pregnant I thought I am going to gain weight anyways I might as well enjoy myself. Not the best thing. I had an extremely hard pregnancy. I couldn't exercise I was tired a lot, grumpy etc etc. I just kept eating though thinking oh I am pregnant.
4th of JULY
That is a breakfast burrito with SAUSAGE and CHEESE, and a banana
SEPTEMBER 2009
Labor Day Hike
I had to take the Tram up the Mountain and meet the others this time! I was supposed to be on Modified bed rest but I chose to support the kiddos and my hubby. This was Faith's first time on the hike I met them at the top with FRIED CHICKEN, MASHED POTATOES, BICUITS ect.
At this point I had to have help people brought me meals, watched my kiddos, helped me with cleaning etc. It was a very frustrating time but the Lord blessed me with wonderful friends from Church that helped me so much and my Mother in Law was a SAINT she still is :)
35 WEEKS pregnant
I thought I was going to deliver any minute. Well little miss Lily had other plans.......
Lily born OCTOBER 19th 2009 at 40 Wks and 2 Days
