My Story
I have been overweight all my life. Year after year I just got bigger and bigger, especially the years that I had each of my 3 daughters. I never lost the "baby weight". I became immune to the names I was called, and the looks I would get especially when eating out. I always wanted to lose weight, be healthy, and I wanted to be able to participate in school activities for my kids without the fear that they will be teased after classmates got a look at how large their mother was. I managed to lose 52 pounds in the spring of 2005, but I also lose my kids because I was using Meth to lose the weight. I had to work really hard to get my kids back, and I have now been clean since September 2005. I gained back all the weight plus some. I topped the scales at 353 being just 4foot 11 inches tall, I was as wide as I was tall. I was toodling around on the internet one day and came across an ad for Curves/Avon study. I thought, $30 for a month, I can do that. The girls who introduced me to the circuit were fabulous, which made me more comfortable being there. I lost 7 pounds and seventeen and a quarter inches in just a month. That amazed me. Working out gave me energy which also surprized me. When I went home, I was able to make better food choices, and I gave up soda and sweets almost completely. I can honestly say that joining Curves has changed my life, I am buying better foods for the whole family, and I make small changes to my lifestyle each day, so I may lead a healthier one. I am not nearly where I want to be as I have just recently begun this journey, but I am on the way thanks to Curves.
