\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

I was always chubby or a little overweight. When I was a little kid someone on the playground made fun of my thighs and from that day forward I always had a complex about having big thighs. Looking back at pictures of my childhood, I was NOT fat and there was nothing wrong with my thighs!<\/p>\n

1999, Chubby but Not Fat<\/p><\/div>\n

It wasn’t until my early 20’s though that I really gained my weight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

2003 Road Trip to Montana<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a combination of factors that attributed to my weight gain: unhealthy food choices, sugar addiction, medications, laziness, and depression. I had high blood pressure. I was always sick with something <\/em>(sinus infections, colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc). My feet hurt. My hips ached. I always had back pain. I was shopping in the Plus sizes and finding it hard to find clothes big enough to fit. I was buying 24W pants and a 42FF bra.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Walnut Room - Chicago<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2006, I went on a fantastic vacation to Chicago with my friend Rachel. Chicago is a walking city and we did a lot of walking. I was in so much pain but it was a wonderful trip.<\/p>\n

Chicago Art Institute<\/p><\/div>\n

I didn\u2019t let being 250 pounds keep me from living my life. I walked all over Chicago and saw many amazing sights. But alone in my hotel room I was crippled in agony from carrying around so much weight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Chicago 2006<\/p><\/div>\n

Soon after that trip, my doctor said I was pre-diabetic. I had really\u00a0high blood pressure and s<\/span>he wanted to put me on blood pressure medications. That was the slap in the face I needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

250+<\/p><\/div>\n

Around my 25th birthday I had a revelation during a Native American Sweat Lodge and decided to stop taking all of my medications and get healthy. It was a journey that took me two years but I did it. I lost 110 pounds<\/span><\/strong>. It’s been years since that journey started and I know it will be a lifelong journey (and struggle) to keep in shape.<\/p>\n

I was in my best friend’s wedding at about 230 pounds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Rachel's Bachelorette Party<\/p><\/div>\n

I started to lose weight. I was surprised at how quickly it was coming off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

At 170 Pounds<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the things I learned in my journey was that life didn’t have to be lived from the couch.\u00a0 I love swimming. I love hiking and walking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I find that I enjoy exercising and making good food choices.<\/p>\n
