Well, here's the deal...I have always been an attractive female and I have always had high self esteem untill I had kids, 2 to be exact. After that I lost my shape and I gained about 50 pounds. I started feeling miserable, unattractive, and I had lost my self love. I never really realized how conceited I was untill I gained weight. Well I had to learn how to love myself regardless of how I looked and once I started doing that I stopped punishing myself by eating emotionally and I started taking better care of myself. I had tried alot of diet pills, diets, and evrything else you can imagine short of surgery and nothing worked untill one day when I popped in my Kanye West CD and started excersizing to the "Work out" song. The rest is history, I was able to keep my heart rate up because of catchy beat and the lyrics were so entertaining that I didn't even mind working out. Maybe if I keep this up I can pull a baller lol.
