Not much of a dieter but I'm trying....

Okay so the life story of Dawn is.... I have always been the "fat kid" Yes I'm Italian and like to cook and eat. (Who doesn't!) Well 10 years ago I weighed 346 pounds. Yes it's true. I would post a photo but just can't bring myself to look at a fat picture. I had a gastric bypass and lost so much weight I weighed 135 pounds. Someone 5'10" should not be a size 8. After time My 8 went to a 10 and I stayed there for a while. Well in 2001 I got pregnant with little kid. It was still a weight loss for me. I ended up being 21 pounds thinner then I was before my pregnancy. (Another story there!!!) Well over the years I began to gain weight a little at a time. I realized that I am almost 38 years old and 238 pounds. I'm not happy with myself so I'm attempting Weight Watchers. I joined last week. I had my first weigh in last night and lost almost 2 pounds. I'm counting everything I put in my mouth. in the past diets and I did not go together. I had no will power and would give up quickly. Hopefully this time will be different. I have no desire to be 135 or anything. I would like to be to the point where my knee doesn't kill me at night and lose 30 pounds.

So that is the weight loss story of my life. Wish me luck because as I said, "I'm an Italian who likes to cook and eat"
