110 pounds weight loss

At the age of 23, I can safely say i have lived a life that no one else would like to live. Topping out at 370 pounds, I suffered an abusive childhood and an abusive marriage. The life I had been given I feel is what caused my eating habits to get out of control. Eating was my outlet from all the issues I faced on a daily basis.

When I was younger my father would call me names and physically abuse me, food consoled me and made me feel better for a brief period. The same happened once I was married, my husband would mentally and physically abuse me and food was always there to make me feel better.

After being with the soon-to- be ex-husband for about five years, I was hurt to find out he had cheated on me, at that time I was about 370 pounds, and could not zip up a size 26 pair of jeans. I depended solely on the few pairs of stretch jeans I had. After the incident I continued to stay with him, in which I found out he was doing drugs in my home and found out more lies about him. In May 2009 I decided I needed to do something, so I decided to leave.
I met my new partner who one day bravely confronted me and expressed his concern about my weight,this is what I needed, someone to confront me in a non-judgmental manner and open my eyes to what I had become.

On August 19th 2009 I went to Curves. I had a previous membership to the gym, however never used it. The first day was absolutely horrible, I couldn't handle the machines, my body was in pain after the first round, and my knees felt as if they could not hold out. Keep in mind, I was not able to walk long distances, climb stairs or any thing to that extent without getting out of breath in the past. After the first month I lost 21 pounds. After six months at Curves I have now lost 110 pounds, which I promise will never be back.

I follow a very disciplined diet of healthy choices. I still have 91 more pounds I would like to lose, I am confident I will reach my goal by the end of 2010.

Since then I have began attending college, I plan to work in Drug and alcohol counseling. I have gained a whole new outlook on life and love the new surprises life brings each day.
