a battle that I then lived with ever since. Then that is when I sadly developed the eating disorder bulimia.

I remember eating nothing but rice cakes, then living off less than 500cals a day.

When I hit my teens, I then enrolled in one extreme diet after another. I grew up chubby and was bullied because of the way I looked at school. I’ve always been a bigger girl than all my friends. Even if I only help 1 person that will satisfy me. My new goals now are to help people that were the way I used to be. Not only did I meet that goal, I surpassed it. When I didn't even know what that size is. When I first started my journey my goal was to be in a 14. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be in a size like this. 2 yrs later I have lost 125 lbs, I'm a size M-11. Then I moved to weightlifting / kickboxing classes. After that I started Zumba / Polango classes. Then I began to jog on a treadmill for an hour. First I made small alterations like I wouldn't eat after a certain time. All it takes is just one day to make the decision that you don't want to be like this anymore. At my heaviest & my most depressed, I just had my twins, I lost my sister yr-&-a-half prior to murder. I never had a lot of self-esteem much less self-respect & it got worse as I got older.

I was subjected to a lot of bullying & ridicule. One person that I was able to relate to was Jillian Michaels because like myself she was overweight. Depression & anxiety was something that I developed early in life. My childhood wasn't a happy one to say the least. I have always been considered overweight ever since I was a child.
