All my life I have been a big girl! You could always see a smile on my face and the weight was never a big problem for me. Things changed though one day though. Maybe it was the thought of my two children growing up without a mother, or just knowing one day when they are older they are going to see me and think it's okay to be obese. I just want to set a example for my kids of how to eat right! It would be harder to tell them "Eat your veggies" and "you can't eat that, that's junk food" and I have unhealthy food on my plate. So at my biggest, 282, I decided to drop the weight! I am doing the HCG diet.
