And so it begins...again

This is a story about me, a newlywed who gained too much weight within her first seven months of marriage. I was always hoping that I wouldn't gain weight after marriage.  I told myself there was noooo way I would be so complacent to the point where the weight would find me again.  I say "again" because I lost twenty-five pounds before I got married to be the size I wanted to be.  And I gained it all back...and now this is getting kind of hard to write.  That's a lot of weight to gain back.  A LOT!  But I did it.  Leave it to me to beat the odds.  I'm back to the size I was when Dan met me.  Which is not fat, but I'm not happy with the way my clothes fit me and the way I eat.  I've decided (again) to make a change in the way I approach food.  But this time, I am more determined not to revert to my bad habits.  Health is only months away and I'm hoping that all the clothes I grew out of since I got married will fit me again by August.

This is kind of a way for me to be accountable for what I'm doing.  I'll keep track of my weight loss and post healthy recipes and advice.  I'll probably vent here too, let's be honest.
