Hello Everyone,

As you can tell my the title of this blog my name is Celeste. I am 24 yrs old and a mother of 2. I have a handsome and wonderful son who is soon to be 3 and a beautiful and talkative daughter that is 1. My children are 18 months apart and my sweet girl what a Christmas surprise. When I found out that I was pregnant with my son I was so excited and nervous because I had just lost 30 pounds and didn't want to gain it back. I did great throughout my pregnancy and delivery gaining 30 pounds and then loosing all but 7 before leaving the hospital. When I was 6 weeks postpartum I got this great thing called an IUD for birth control. I worked out daily and was burning over 1000 calories a day. I wasn't loosing though. I watched my weight climb so high that I couldn't even look in the mirror. I hit 180 in about 5 months after my son was born. I was so embarrassed and I didn't understand how it had happened. I gave up completely. I cried myself to sleep at night because I was loosing and my body was winning in this battle of the "tubby tire". That is what I call all the extra fat on my belly. I then found out I was pregnant with my daughter when my son was 10 months old and I just knew I was gonna be over 200 pounds after I had my daughter. I had horrible morning sickness and couldn't eat anything for almost 7 months and I only gained 17 pounds during my pregnancy. I was actually glad that I was sick because I hated myself. I have made a big decision that I refuse to give up on myself. Being fat runs in my family and I will not just be another fat person. I will lose this weight and I will teach my children that being healthy and fit is the way to be. I will be able to wear sexy clothes again and shorts at some point. I hope you all enjoy my journey cause I know I will. Even though I am sure at some times I will hate this and never want to finish but having y'all reading my journey and backing me is what will push me. I will be posting pictures of my before body tomorrow.

Happy Weightloss
