Hi! My name's Wanda Williams and I have decided to create this Weight Loss page simply as a way to hold myself accountable for my healthy living decisions.
I am a just beginning this journey, so hop on board with me and see how far my journey takes us! My Story! A little about me! My history with weight loss has been somewhat of a roller coaster for me my whole life! Even when i was a young kid i would always put some weight on and then take it back off again... over and over. My first intentional weight-loss experience was when i was about 8-9 year
s old, and began routinely exercised daily with my bike .. riding it to local parks and back. I did not diet at all! I lost about 30 lbs. only to gain it back again a year later. The next time i remember losing the weight was when i was a young teen about 14-15. I did not lose it in a healthy way at all. I basically starved it off, eating 2-5 days weekly in low quantities! bad idea. I lost 50 lbs and gained a lot of flabby skin in the belly! 2 years later i gained the weight back again and then some!! The last time i "lost the weight" i was in my early 20's and thought i did everything right this time.... I exercised 3-5 days weekly and went on a low cal diet. I lost about 75 lbs. in a little over a year. and I was almost right last time, because i kept the weight off a little longer this time... but my problem was.. that i was not taking into account all the pieces to my puzzle... i did not think about my emotional health, and well being... and i became an alcoholic for 5 years!! So THIS time i am trying to just... take my time, and build healthier things in my life.. I am also taking more responsibility with my depression meds, making sure to actually take them DAILY! My nephew, who lives with us at this time... made me a calendar specifically for me to mark off the days i take my meds! and i have taken them 1 week and 1 day in a row since then! I am in the beginning on this journey again. and hope this time i will get things right!!!
