Over at The American Homemaker I'm participating in the Ultimate Blog Party so I figured why not here too?My name is Angie and I'm fat! (hi, angie) I'm been a bit of a slacker at eating healthy and exercising the last few months and what better motivation than knowing LOTS of people will be on my blog this week? I guess I better get crackin' LOL
So a little about me and my weight-loss saga... I spent years (Since I was 18 and had my first baby) hating how I looked, I tried eating healthy, killing myself with insane exersise, working with my doctor and nothing worked. I was severely depressed and my body would just not lose weight...
And then after my divorce in July 2007 I went from a size 16-18 to a size 10!!! I was happy, I was confidant, I was avoiding all sweets and drinking only water. I was doing moderate exercise. I felt great!!!
When I was remarried in January of '08 I got the birth control shot and a heck of a lot of stress added to my life! My weight/inches slowly came back. Here I am a year later...
Ok... I don't always have a cookie in my mouth, but I haven't taken a full body picture of myself since November. I'm a tight size 12 and trying to find time in an EXTREMELY hectic schedule to work out and trying to eat healthy while still keeping up with my love for baking, cooking and creating new recipes. Some weeks I do great and some I'm happy if I survived :)

YOU ARE NOT FAT.
By any means at all.
I am a Size 22 from having 2 Children and a malabsorption problem. I barely eat at all.
Have a wonderful Party Day !!
Hey, I have to say, you're not as fat as you think. It really is a mind game, and depends on how you look at it, is what will happen.

Hi, stopping by all the blogs in the party that I can get to. It's very nice to meet you and your blog! With how many blogs in the party right now, that is 254 blogs per day for 4 days! Wow!
I'm trying to lose weight too!
Angie, you are doing great! It IS a full time job in itself to lose weight, let alone work, raise children, etc. Don't be hard on yourself!!! It will all come together for you!
Best of luck on your journey! You can do it.

Nice to meet you!
Talk about a party!
I'm quite intrigued and am learning how to get around!
Just stopping by from 5minutes for moms blog party!
Hey Angie - LOVED the post! I'm on the front lines of the fat battle, too. You might get a kick out of a link on my site "Cinderella is Overrated." PW even dropped by for a look and swears she has pounds to lose! Yeah, RIGHT!
Come on by anytime. Found you through the UBP09. :)
I am new to the blog world. I am from Shreveport, La.
Thank you for sharing your story
I love a good party and this is my first BLOG party.
So glad that I found your blog. Hope you will come by and visit me.

How brave of you to share!! So sorry though, you won't see me on my blog again until I lose the baby weight from the last 3 pregnancies... :)
Just party hopping!

Hi from UBP 2009!
It is nice to meet you!
great job on everything.
I feel for your struggle. I'm wondering what kind of healthy eating information you're using that's making it so hard for you. There is so much rubbish out there.
One of the prizes is my ebook package - The Skinny Living Handbook. They have it listed in International.
My party blog is at http://CommonSenseLiving.com - stop by and pick up some great healthy recipes you'll love - I promise!
(the blogger blog is old and nasty and needs to be deleted, But that'w what I had to sign in with - no Name/URL option)
For what it's worth, I think you look great!
Hey there! Found you on UBP. Loved your blog!
Great to find your blog. Blessings to you on your weight loss journey. Thank you for being so honest.

Hi Angie! I stopped in at your other blog... and now I've worked my way down the party list to this one. I will definitely be back here to see what your up to!
Weight has always been my obsession! It is hard and stress doesn't help. Check out my blog with lots of good recipes for your diet. I'm with ya baby!
I'm stopping by from UBP! Great blog! I'll be subscribing. I could have written your story myself. I'm still struggling to get to a healthy weight and can't wait to follow along with you!
I'm enjoying the UBP! And I really enjoying finding others who struggle with their weight.
Thanks for sharing a bt about yourself! You look gorgeous!
Hi Angie,
I can completely relate to how you feel and your story. I struggle every day in the same way and am trying to get back to that happy place I once was.
You will get there - just never give up and keep on trying - it's all about persistence over perfection.
I found your site through the UBP09 and glad I did.
Just stop by from the Blog Party. I want you to know that I think you are so beautiful.
Have a great day! :)
