OK, well...no, I didnt. Not yet anyway. But I got you in here, didnt I? Not only that, but now you know your first fun fact about me....I'm fat!
I just happened across this fun little section of the DIS, and I'm ready to jump in. I think this journal will be a little weight loss and a little life. After all, life is where you eat & life is where you struggle with your weight.
As of today, I weigh 270 pounds. I'm not embarrassed to write that. I'm sad to write it, but not embarrassed. Its not like I'm hiding it from anyone. Its not like you don't already know when you look at me that I'm overweight. (Does this fat body make me look fat?) So there it is, thats my number. 120 pounds more than what it should be. Sad, scary...you know how it goes. I'm sure I dont even need to describe what its like.
I hate to rush this here introduction, but I have about 15 minutes before my children descend upon my house and demand my attention for the next 5 hours until bedtime, so let me go ahead and introduce myself.
I'm Claire. (nice to meet you) and thats my husband Chris.

Not the greatest picture, but it was taken today before we went on our very first trip to the movies in like 10 years. No joke. Probably longer......last movie we saw in theaters was Titanic, which was like circa 1998......so its been awhile. Its raining here today and like 55 degrees, hence the hoodie.
The movie was good:thumbsup2, although the prices about gave me a heartattack!!:scared: Alot has changed since 1998.....
But enough about that, lets carry on with the intro. OK, so.... so far we know I'm Claire, im overweight, and I just saw my first movie since Titanic. What other pertinent information do we need to talk about? Well, lets see, I'm married, have 8 kids ( i know, 8, can you believe it?) I am a full time nursing student, and since the birth of my son in June of this year I have been suffering from Postpartum Depression, Postpartum Anxiety, and Postpartum OCD...or as I like to refer to it, The Trifecta of Hell. I'm sure I'll talk more about that later, since it pretty much rules my life right now.
What else, what else? Fat, check. married with kids, check. professional whackadoo, check. Well, for times sake, I guess that's about it....and all at the same time barely scratching the surface. But please, feel free to read along. The more the merrier. I'd love to include pictures, since memories make the world go round...and if you're really looking for a little more about me, you can read my Trip Report in my siggy. its pretty slow going and it pales in comparison to other TRs. OK, its basically just pictures of my kids:rotfl: but have at it if you like!
Up next, the Disney World body shot that prompted this emergency need for weight loss!:scared1:
