Hello, my name is Jennifer...

Ive thought about starting a blog for quite a while now.  I am avid readers of several blogs, but have often thought that I would not be as amusing, or witty as needed to get people to come back time and time again.  So I decided today that I am going to start this blog, and am totally OK if no one ever reads what I have to say.  Sometimes you just need an outlet.  A place to write things down.  A place to vent.  

As you might have guessed from the title of this blog, its going to be about weight loss, struggles, successes, and the life that I manage to have through it all.  Its not always pretty, its not always sane, and its not always healthy.  

I am the youngest of my siblings, but for all general purposes I might as well be an only child.  And for all general purposes I might as well be an orphan.  I might touch on these relationships further along.  Or I might not.  

I have two sons and have been divorced and amazingly found the love of my life and got married a second time.  My oldest child is starting high school in about 6 weeks.  OMG.  High school.  And my youngest just turned 13 a couple of weeks ago.   I am not sure where the time has gone, but I swear they were just running around the backyard naked playing in the hose.  *sigh*


I am a teacher and work with preschoolers with autism.  Im sure some of this will make it into my blog as well.  But for now I just want to say that EARLY INTERVENTION IS THE KEY!


I am originally from Vermont, and had a very relaxed and laid back upbringing, location wise.  The details of my childhood have obviously impacted my weight, and I am sure I will touch on these things as I go along as well.


But for now...

Hello, my name is Jennifer, and I had a waisted youth.
