Well, if I wrote this before June 12th 2009 I would have been able to tell you exactly what I was and none of it would have been positive other than I am very involved mother...If I was a tree known only by her fruit, I would be known as magnificent but since we all are more that...
BUT NOW, I am completely changed forever and all for the better! For over 6 months I was horribly ill and it turned around overnight through miraculous means.

Not only am I better but I have become a vegatarian (someone who has never eaten veggies) and NOW they taste amazing! I am loving tasting them all! Also, I have started long distance biking recently and it feels great to start building back my muscles.

I really like this website, the daily plate and logging your food really helps you see how you are balancing your calories, proteins, carbs and fats.

I am really looking to make some friends who are interested in staying healthy, physically, mentally and spiritually!

All my life I was over weight (not a little, alot) my highest weight was 256 at 5'6" and that wasn't while pregnant. Three years ago I lost about 100lbs through alot of little changes and I was happy at that weight. (Not skinny but good enough) Then I got sick and drop 50lbs in 6mo. (not fun) Now I have gained 7 little lbs. so I have been on both sides of the spectrum of weight issues.

Now, I don't really care what I weigh as along as it is healthy. Although I track my weight, food and exercise religiously it is because I am trying to practice mindful eating which makes you notice every bite you take not only for its nutrients but for it's taste. You have to decide before you eat the food that it will be all good for you and that you are truly happy to eat it. It works for me on both sides (to know I need to eat and two not to eat stuff that will hurt me and ultimately unhappy).
