About Me

I am a High School Spanish teacher here in Las Vegas. I love to read and I am the advisor for the student Bible Club at school. I have always been overweight, yes always. I was born into a large family in more way than one. Our lives were and somewhat still are focused on food. I had gastric bypass in Dec. 2001 and I had lost almost 200 pounds until my mom got really sick and passed away in 2004. I tend to eat my feelings so I started gaining some of what I had lost back. I have lost and gained the same 30-40 pounds several times over the past few years. I have found that eating frequent meals works better for me. I have a hard time eating all the calories I need to keep me from plateauing in healthy foods so I really like the smaller more frequent meals. I have recently been diagnosed with many food allergies including wheat, soy, fish, and several fruits, veggies,nuts, and spices. So this is a new challenge for me.
I stole this inspirational quote from another user I just love it!
"The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT."

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I want to break the fat cycle and change me for the better. My goals are to get healthy and strong to live out my purpose here on earth as God's servant. I want to get in shape so I can live a long, healthy, and richly blessed life.
