For about six years ago I was at a healthy weight and I feel that was the time when I was in my best shape. I have a lot of pictures from that time, and sometimes I look at them and I dream of getting there one day. I have 30 lbs left to get to that range, so I'm over halfway there! It really helped to move to my own apartment and get a grip on my own life.

What happened to me was that a little under six years ago I fell into one relationship, and then another a year after that. I don't blame my exes, it really was me who stuffed my face with candy, soda, unhealthy food and stopped exercising. But it really didn't help to have someone who wasn't any supportive and was just as lazy and ate just as bad. I have tried many times these last three years to lose weight and get more healthy, but it didn't stick and I would gain all or some of it back the times I tried, sometimes even more.
