A little about me

I am a wife to the most wonderful husband a girl could ask for. He is always so loving and kind! I am also a Mommy to 4 adorable children *smile* ranging for age 6 months to 5yrs.

It was also looked down on for girls to play sports, with it being not famine and all. (I do not agree with this at all!) Along with my lack of activity, our family also stated having problems. My dad started using drugs. That caused a lot of arguments between my parents! We had a rule in our home, "What happens at the house, stays at the house!" Needless to say all my feelings were suppressed with food, chocolate milkshakes to be exact! This lasted my whole teenage life, even after I left for college! That is when I started trying to lose what I had put on. I was not huge (in my eyes) but I was fat and needed to lose weight. I was around 170, and for my little 5'1 frame that was too big...
