This is my first blog ever! How exciting! Where do I start? Lets see...So let my start this out by telling you all a little bit about myself. My name is Desiree. I am 28 years old. I am a wife to the love of my life, my high school sweetheart Abraham. We have been married for almost 12 years and we have 3 gorgeous children who are ages 12 (almost 13), 6, and 2.
I am starting my blog because I want to be able to inspire people. Whether it be in weight loss, beauty, or just family life.
Growing up I was always skinny. I was the kind of girl that could eat what ever she wanted and never get fat. After getting pregnant with my first child I had gained a whopping 80lbs and never lost it. 7 years later I had my second child and gained a little more and by the time I had my 3rd child I was at 230 lbs.
I had definitely let myself go and to be honest I thought I was fine. I knew I was "overweight" but in my head it was just a little overweight. It took me not being able to fit into a size 16 (I was actually a size 23) that I had purchased from a store to realize that I had to do something about my weight. So Two years ago I joined Weight Watchers and lost 80lbs in around 9 months or so. It took a lot of dedication and hard work. Tracking my food and exercise is a normal part of my everyday life now. I am still not at goal (I want to lose another 20lbs) but I am trying. I have been stuck in the 150's all year because I am not following the plan. I am not perfect, I mess up, I eat crappy food sometimes, I sometimes don't go to the gym for a week, but its all apart of the process.
You can lose weight too YOU just have to really WANT it. You have the potential to do what ever it is that you want to do.
