Personality wise, I am a no-nonsense, tell it like is Oklahoma Gal.
My hobbies are photography, painting, and love any sport with a ball. . .
I'm a stay at home wife, and my husband is gone often in the military. Sometimes 2 weeks at a time, and then 1.5 years so far. . . Just depends.
We've been married for nearly 3 years, and I've gained about 25 pounds. I worked for most of our marriage (longer than that, but just winding that number down) and we would eat out more than I would cook. We have since stopped eating out so much and eating more fresh lean foods. I'm not really on a diet; don't really believe in 'dieting', but believe in eating good healthy foods all the time. I am a 'mom' of 4 animals which keep me as busy as a mom of one human child. Many times,they take better care of me and my emotions than I take care of their day to day needs.
I'm also a person who knows what she wants in life, and I don't mind tellin people that at all. Proud of my husband, and his 8 year service as well. Love him terribly! Miss him more!
So SECRET family, here I come! Thanks for reading, and supporting me on this journey! I hope to continue it for the years to come.

Health and Wellness
Completely agree! The last two and half years have been a struggle of blood pressure meds and of course things like birth control (weight gain came with that, but that wasn't what crossed the line). I've had migraines since being on any birth control, and then blood pressure meds to control the migraines (that is one of three groups of meds that 'control' migraines; I chose the lesser of the three evils). In all honesty, I can tell you that most likely I needed the BP meds with all the sodium my body can't handle. Before this website, I took track of nutrition in a notebook, and it shocked me to realize that between the birth control and the sodium intake, I had HIGHER THAN A KITE BP. Believe me, when I say at 21 years of age, I don't want skinny. I want HEALTH. I made the decision to go off both meds, because it was killing me so it felt back in September while Dan was away just to try it out. Before going off, I would have anywhere from minimal 6 migraines to 10 a month that had me laid up 3 days at a time or at work (domestic animal clinic) bent over at a clinic with dogs barking in my face. lol Since being off, I've had less than 4 migraines, and mini migraines (precursors) as this weight has been obviously coming off. Everyone must realize that what you put in your body gets stored in you fat, which isn't bad all the time, but anything you eat, take, or drink is sometimes stored in your fat. Hormones particularly. I'm super happy to find people who are aware of health and not just a number. Furthermore, this site is a tool, and regardless of when or where you stop your journey here, it will be necessary to keep the nutritional values of foods in mind. Weight loss is only a perk when you begin to eat foods that will keep you healthy. Sorry this was so long, but you don't know how excited I am to read everyone's posts! Smile
PS I don't have my glasses on today so uh, I may have missed a few words! Bare with me! Very Happy
