When I was 16 I started writing a journal and still write today, Last year I put it all on line at www.unfamousme.com. So If you want to know everything about me that's a good place to go. In one short paragraph I am almost 37. I have been married since 2003 and have two children who are 13 years apart. After my first child I was able to lose all the weight, being only 20 was a perk in that sence. I was diagnosed with hypothyriodism in 2003 had my son in 2006 and put on nearly 60 pounds since the year 2000. 49 of it came from my last pregnancy where I weighed 212 when my son was born. About 2 months ago I was 206 and my son is now 3 years old! I struggle daily with this added weight and the constant need for bigger pants. I haven't worn a pair of jeans in seven months simply because I refuse to buy bigger ones. I want to get back into my old jeans. :-)
