Hi. My name is Dana -- I am single, overweight and have a dog named Louie and I just moved into a house with my best friend, Teresa and her puppy Moxie. There is nothing extraordinary about me or my life...which for some reason I thought that starting this blog will make me seem interesting. LOL. Pathetic.
As stated above, I am overweight. I have struggled with my weight all my life; and have been slowly gaining more weight since college....and by more, I am sure it has been about 85 pounds. I mean, that is almost another person. I have been trying to lose weight and my magic number is 100 pounds. I have been seriously trying to lose weight for the past 5 years; and I think that I have lost like 15 pounds at the most...gained it all back; and now I am basically at the same weight as when I started to lose weight.
My mother has been on me about my weight since I was in grade 8. So, probably since I was 13 years of age. And for years I did nothing about it just out of spite -- thinking that I would be hurting her and not me. When really, now it is me to is obese and she still on me about my weight. She used to tell me that no one would love me because I am fat. I haven't heard that since I had my last serious relationship (which ended 3 years ago). So, I guess she has realised that some people can fall in love with someone who is fat. Although, right now, I don't feel like that is possible.
Wow. What a nice warm welcome. Lol. Thanks for stopping by... I will probably be back soon -- I'm really hoping that me talking about my weight and my struggle with it will make me deal with my issues and eventually the weight will fall off. lol.
So, I guess that has been my perspective... :)
