Hello all, my life was not always easy growing up I had body image issues and low self esteem, even though I look back at high school pictures and think to myself I looked great! In college I feel in love! I also gained my freshman 15+15! I just kept gaining weight over the last 18 years. At first I didn't really think much of going up in size, I was still active right? At one point I even told my Mom that I was just ment to be be fat, I was happy and loved, who cares about my weight! I was lying to myself. I felt uncomfortable in my own skin and slowly I began to hate the way I looked.
I started to lose weight about 8-9 years ago when we joined a gym to lose weight, it wasn't about health at all for me. Cutting calories and exercise worked for a short time and I lost 30lbs, I was down to 225! I was excited and energized about my 30lbs and then I found out I was pregnant. I was over the moon happy however I dreaded the weight gain that I had just lost! Don't get me wrong Brady is the best, funniest and cutest gift I have ever been given but I struggled with putting the weight back on! All of my old body image issues came back, even though I knew I needed to gain some weight for my baby.
After Brady was born I was on restriction so I got lazy about my workouts and had a hard time getting back to it after 6weeks of nothing! Once I started to get back into the gym I fell and torn my ACL. This was a final nail in my weight coffin! I was now on more restrictions till the replacement and had severe complication with my joint after! MonaVie has helped with the joint pain, however that surgery was 5 years ago and I want my life back! The fall happened when Brady was 2 and I have missed so much already (playing at the parks, soccer, baseball, and just fun times) and I don't want to miss any more! I am sick and tired of sitting on the side lines waiting for life, wanting life to be better. I am tired of wondering what people see when they look at me. I am tired of being embarrassed of my body. I hate pictures of any kind because I feel ugly and fat when I see them! I am tired of my weight and health being such a huge issue for me. It is time for action!
With my husband Dan Wolfgram and my son Brady Beemer Wolfgram we are going to take our lives back and prove that it can be done. Once that happens I want to help other families take back their health and teach them what we are going to be learning! I want to change the way families look at health!
My goal is to finally weight 135lbs! I want to be able to run and play with Brady and enjoy life and not worry about my weight or what I look like!
