Hi :) I am Alethea. I am a 31 yr old mother of 2 lil babies. Gwyn is 2 and Toby just turned 1. I am on a life journey. Weight has ALWAYS been a struggle of mine. Along with depression, drugs, and a few other things. Here I am. I am not the heaviest I have ever been but close. And I don't have the excuses that I had when I was at my heaviest. At that point I was on many many medications for depression. A combination of two I was on caused me to blow up from about 150 lbs to about 300 in a year. After that I ended up on a HUGE year long drug binge, meth. Of course, that made me lose massive amounts of weight very quick. After I got off the drugs (been clean 7 years) I gained weight. Slowly but steadily. So here I am. Ready to lose. I am truly ready. I have gotten to where I am embarrassed to leave the house even because of my weight. It is beyond a vanity issue now. I have had hip problems since I was 5. The weight is not causing the problems but it is definately not making them better. I have a 2 yr old and a 1 year old that I want to be able to play with... actively. I want to be around for a very long time to drive them nuts. I want to see not only my grandkids but my great grandkids. I know that losing wieght will make me feel better physically but I think what will make the biggest difference will be the mental changes. Feeling good about myself again, feeling good about how I look. Not feeling embarrassed or ashamed that I have let this happen to me. So here I am...


I am adding some goals. I NEED to be able to see the progress outside of my weight going down. When I look back at this I can say see... shut up brain i did do it!

Goal 1. Be UNDER that 200 mark
Goal 2. Have my waist break that 30 inch mark.
Goal 3. Wear a single digit size pants. (size 9 instead of 10)
Goal 4. Be UNDER the 175 mark
