Introduction Text I have been around this block so many times I own real estate on every corner. As a mom to a toddler and a graduate student I suffer from decision fatigue and constant exhaustion. I need weight loss to be simple, but for me it is about overcoming emotional eating as well as eating right. It takes a significant amount of energy to make the right decisions for my health. I am trying to embrace it instead of feel sorry for myself. I am going to make deliberate choices to shape my life and body. I am empowering myself to make the changes I want to see. I want to be mindful of my actions and relationship with food. Exercise has always been the easy part for me. While I strive to get more movement into my day, much of this journey is about my relationship with food. I don't have a lot of time for exercise and I become sad and distracted with my lack of time to the point of paralysis. My ultimate goal, once school is over and I return to work, is to incorporate a regular workout into my day. Baby steps.

Lose 97 lbs. Buy clothes in the regular section. Do something active most days. Consume mostly whole foods. Disease prevention. Be a positive role model for my son. Self-acceptance. Develop a healthy relationship with food. To feel good in my own skin.

Limit my calorie intake to SP recommended range. Drink half my weight in water daily. Eat a primarily dairy free diet. Eat as clean as possible. Avoid nightshades. Move as much as possible. Work on my inner dialogue. Build myself up. Focus on the positive.

I am a Texas native who transplanted to Washington state. It's been our dream to move here for more than a decade. We love it! I am currently a SAHM completing my graduate degree. I cannot wait to go back to work. LOL

I love to read fiction. My favorite genres are science fiction/fantasy, paranormal, horror, mysteries, romance, general fiction and historical. Before I had a kid I loved to cook, sew, craft, refinish old furniture, repurpose vintage items, shop estate sales, watch movies, and hang out with friends. Now I am lucky to get a shower and read a book a page at a time. Someday... :)
