Hi, my name is Leigh Ann

Hi. My name is Leigh Ann, and I am an overachiever, I mean, overeater (eating overachiever).
(Hi, Leigh Ann.)
I need to lose about 40 lbs. I weighed 138 at my wedding 6 years ago but that was from starvation. Not to fit into a wedding dress, but because I had no desire to eat from depression (I think I need another group for that one.).
I eat when I am depressed. I eat when I am upset. I eat when I am bored. I eat because “I deserve it”. I eat when I am stressed. I eat to celebrate. I eat to reward myself for making it through the day. I eat to medicate. Food is my drug of choice (or drink, as in high fructose corn syrup, carbonated, caffinated beverages).

My goals:
1) I want to glorify God and enjoy Him by the food and drink choices that I make daily.
(I believe it glorifies Him to enjoy the good tastes that He has made-in moderation.)
2) I want to be more attractive to my husband.
3) I want to have the energy to chase after the kids and my husband. He’s worth chasin’. ;-)
4) I want to have a wardrobe that I feel comfortable in without the tugging and pulling
and without wearing a tent.
5) I don’t want to be addicted to food.
6) I want to be fit and healthy.
7) I want to be a good example to my children, especially my daughter.

My diet:
I want to do a WW type thing.

My exercise:
Pilates
