So here's my story: I'm a 22-year-old recent college graduate who loves to read, write, watch movies, and--above all else--EAT! Yes, I am a self-proclaimed foodie. My favorite kinds of food to eat and make are Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and Indian, but I'm a baker at heart. I'm almost always the first to volunteer to bring a cake or platter of homemade toffee to a get-together. Unfortunately, as much as I love food, food does not love me back, as is the case with so many people.
I have tried every diet and exercise method in the book. I'm not kidding. I've done Atkins, South Beach, Suzanne Somers, Weight Watchers, HCG Drops, etc. I'll admit, every time I try a diet, I have lost weight, but I always gained everything back, plus some. I've tried just running on a treadmill for at least an hour and a half every day. I've tried eating right, but not exercising. I've tried exercising, but not eating right. So please believe me when I say I've been around the weight-loss block more than a few times.
I'm not saying that I have all the right answers, or that what I'm doing is the only right way to do things. But I know that there must be more people out there who are sick and tired of riding that stupid weight elevator. I've been on that stupid ride for too long, and to be honest with you my goal isn't just to lose weight anymore. My goal is to find a healthy relationship with food and exercise TOGETHER, and I'm hoping to lose some weight along the way.
My name is Ashley, I currently weigh 257 pounds, and I can't wait to count down those pounds.
