My name is Ana. I am a 22 Year old mother of 2 young children. Ive been big from as long as I can remember. In the 7th grade I was a size 16 in pants... before I had my daughter @ the age of 16 I was a size 20-22 in pants and now after both of my children @ the age of 22 I am a size 24 in pants. I've tried losing weight so many times, and failed so many times...it has gotten to the point where this extra weight I carry is making me feel unattractive and depressed. It was ruining my relationship with my spouse and just made my self-confidence go down the drain. I'm weighing in @ 313lbs and my goal weight is to be 180lbs. It is to the point where I'M AM NOT GIVING UP ANYMORE, I'm sticking with this diet til the END, even if it KILLS ME! ALL I want is to be in-shape and to be healthy so I can see my kids & grandkids grow!! GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH!
