Hi from Maria!
Hello everyone, my name is Maria, I'm 38 years old and from Australia. At last I am contributing to this blog... Michelle thank you ... we eventually got there... :-) I have appreciated your comments on my blog too.. it has been a big surprise to find that you have visited :-) I'm a Christian woman with a daughter who turns 12 in about a month. I had my 2nd year wedding anniversary on Saturday. It's been a HARD couple of years. Three years in fact if you count from the time I met my husband. I was a single parent for 5 years before hooking up with him. I had no idea how hard it would be to be part of a couple again. Living with a man. So, so hard that I sometimes wonder what God's will is for me. I have gained about 85.4 pounds since meeting my man... just eating may way through anything that needed 'anaesthetizing'! This was after losing the same amount of weight over a three year period! I have lost a big amount of weight twice in my life..and both times.. it has come back on. At my lower weights I have become too comfortable and careless.. feeling like I was invincible..and not mindful that I could go back to where I started. And before you know it.. I was where I started!I want to improve my health because I'm so tired of feeling unwell..and being unwell. I want to be around for my daughter for many years to come. I learned recently I'm pre-menopausal.. which explains why it's harder than ever these days to shed any weight. I am noticing unfavourable changes in my body. My husband and I attend a gym and try to get there 3 times a week. (We only joined late January this year). We recently moved house (aaaughhh...stress!!!)..and both of us stopped the gym for about 3 weeks.. I'm only just back into it. It's hard! I gained weight every week in March.. but last week lost 1kg! That's 2.2 pounds. My goal this month is to really try to cut out sugar as much as I can and keep up the gym at least twice a week. I'm a night-time eater and an emotional eater too (big time)! I will be taking the time to read more older posts to get famiar with you all and I'll visit other blog's where I can. Thank you for having me here, I wish you all well.. sincerely :-)
