Biggest Loser -Orchard Style

This is my page for the first Mini challenge at Scrap Orchard's Biggest Loser contest.  It's a weight loss contest/challenge, and my team is rocking it!  The challenge was to create a page about why you need to lose the weight and how it affects your life. 

Biggest Loser

Journaling: My weight has always been an issue, ever since high school. If I knew then what I know now, there’s no way I would have thought I was ‘fat’ back then - but I did think that. And now, years later when I am needing to take off half my weight, I NEED to do it. For me, so I’m not tired and I feel healthy again. For him, so I can be a better wife and have the energy to do things again. And most importantly, for her - so I can be the mom I want to be. I want to be able to chase after her and not be out of breath after 2 seconds. I want her to live in a house where there CAN be cookies and chips on occasion and mommy doesn’t eat them all. I want her to have a normal life and have a mommy she can look up to and want to be like. I want to be able to get pregnant again and give her a sibling, and at my current weight that’s not looking like it’s going to happen. Right now, sadly, I don’t want her to be like me - I want her to be healthy, and to do that, I need to show her how. So that’s why and how I’m starting the Biggest Loser challenge at scrap Orchard - for me, my hubby and for her. ~May 2011
