TheRealShauna

SO I am here, finally ready to make a change that I choose......that is to say because I am ready, not because of circumstance, not because of peer pressure, and not because it's my job!!!

My all time highest weight was well over 415lbs. I may never really know how big I was because the scale at my doctor's office only went that high. The suggestion of going to the hospital to be weighed on their wheel chair scale was not inviting and so I never did...... was too ashamed/embarrassed.

About 5 years ago, I found out my then husband had been in an adulterous affair for over a year. I only mention that because it started me on my road to weight-loss. Due to EXTREME mental stress/duress I began to lose weight. Ideal right? Not really.... I could NOT eat and what I DID eat would not stay down (not my plan). I went on to lose 100lbs in 3 months!!!! I was physically dying....my hair was falling out, my teeth were getting loose and I had NO energy. I finally got out of that relationship that turned violent and am proud to say he is now my ex.

I went on to lose another 77lbs through Herbalife and I became a distributor for. I reached a low of 232lbs and was feeling FINE!!!! I started dating this amazing man and started slacking....nice dinner, drinks etc. and BAM, fell "off" the wagon.

I have re-gained 120lbs over this past 3 years and I feel gross. We got married last September 2011 & have decided to become recommitted to weight loss (he is also looking to lose about 90+ lbs). We are doing this together and it is nice to have such an awesome support system. We joined a boxing gym and have started using it everyday.

I/WE are now READY!!!!! Not because of pressure, not because of grief, not because I have to represent a product, but because I am ready to become TheRealShauna
