An Introduction

My name is Jennifer, but you can call me Jenn...In fact id prefer it if you do :P.

I didn't start out as a large person in fact most of my youth people where shocked i was so thin, worried if my parents feed me, asked about my visible bones, a classmate even approached me offering to help me with my eating disorder (anorexia). I didn't have one. I was just fairly active with a nice metabolism.. At the age of 13 something changed ..i started gaining weight. It started slow at first a few pounds here a few pounds there but not long. A short year later my classmates confused my weight with being pregnant i was teased, and since then the weight has just piled on. I was later diagnosed with hypothyroidism...

In my early 20s i thought i had control. I could maintain my weight around 235 and just recently i ballooned out to my highest weight ever, 280 pds so close to 300 i freaked i had to do something. My life at this time starred  many different fad diets..there was the magic pills, special creams, fancy shakes and odd equipment promising to tone my figure...None of them worked..

 I honestly believe moving saved my life, finding friends and being active managed to bring my wieght down to 267 from there i tried exercise and BBV..I got down to 226 and then from my own stupidity i gained over half of it back..Due to health issues (anxiety) I've been put on a new medication that doesnt allow me to excerise frustrated at not being able to continue with what worked i was forced to rethink the situation. I remembered a close friend having success with this diet and it had intrigued me before but i refused to try it. i couldn't believe myself to be able to keep to the very strict protocol, i just loved food to much..With not many options and a pure desperation to lose the weight i gained and then some, i decided to give it a shot and so far im glad i did.

From here i plan on updating as much as i can, but be warned ive never been to good with journals or blogs before..I'm hoping reading my trials and tribulations you can find comfort, support and quiet possibly the information you need to embark on this journey as well.

Signing off, and hoping to see you again soon.
