I been dealing with my weight since I was in highschool. It really went downhill after I got married. I tried to fatten up my very skinny husband and I gained 30lbs in the first couple months of marriage. I started out at 130 went up to 160 something. From there I have been all over the board my highest is about 170.

I've been on a quest the last few years to get back to real food. I grew up on CRAP! I feel like that really has had a huge impact on my struggle. Every year I try to take one thing that our family eats and make a better choice with it. I make our own bread. I haven't had soda in 4 years, I haven't eaten hardly any sugar in 2012(less than a cup total). I have realized that it's not only the things I eat but how I think about food. I don't deserve treats, it's not a comfort and I can have control!

I have done askins before but I kind of made up my own rules. This time I have followed it pretty much to a tee! I havn't had grains in over a month. I now know what it feel like to be truley hunary and not just driven by carb cravings. I feel like carbs and sugar are truley and addiction for me. I can not stop at just one bite! It's really scary.

I'd really like to follow the ladder all the way to the end and see how much I can really tolerate. I would also like to get past the "I feel better so I can eat whatever I want stage". Usually around 150 I start to feel and look sooo much better that I don't keep trying. I feel like this could be it, but I guess time will tell. I keep talling myself that it will just be that much harder n 10 more years. Also I'd like to be skinny and healthy while I'm still young enough to really enjoy it!!!! (35 this year)
