I'm doing this!

Hello there,

My name is Tricia and this is my very first blog. I guess you can say Istarted it with hopes of helping me be a little more organized? Organized inwhat way you may ask... Whelp, here it goes.

I'm fat. Not the P.H.A.T fat... Like the actual fat. Or overweight. Whateveradjective you prefer. I can say this about myself and not mean it in a rudecontext because in order for me to deal with the everyday stereotypes I've hadto find the humor in it. So yes, fat. Jabba the Hut fat.

This blog was created in the hopes of being an online weight journal. Everytime I have a craving or start doubting myself, I will log on and vent all mythoughts. Will this work? I hope so.

I've never been considered to be in a healthy weight guideline. I've alwayshad a little junk in the trunk and thighs that made tree trunks jealous.

I'll start by saying a little about myself.

I am married to a wonderful man named Brian.

We met on Match.com in 2008. I was about 165lbs when I first met Brian.

Lets fast forward to 2011. InNovember I found out I was pregnant. I was 216lbs. I had this great diet calledmorning sickness (kidding). I lost 23 lbs. in my first trimester due to vomitingconstantly. IT WAS HORRIBLE! And on top of the throwing up, I had no appetite.By the time I got to my second trimester, my appetite came back and the nauseasimmered down. Needless to say I gained about 30 lbs.


















Carter was born on July 14, 2012. He was 9.4 lbs and 21 inches long.

I had this delusional outlook that I would breastfeed and all the weightwould melt off. That did not happen. After my milk stopped coming in, I wasstuck with saggy boobs, a failed attempt at losing weight and a gut that hungover my jeans.

Now I don't know how most people deal with disappointment. I deal with mineby eating. Nothing makes me feel better than a home cooked meal, or cookiesstraight out of the oven, or bread with butter. You get the point.

So here it is, 2013. Weight Watchers paid for, running shoes on order. Goal:100 lbs. lost. First 5K on May 11th 2013. Let’s do this.

Day1...Missing Crème Brulee. Isn't it funny how we crave the foods we normally wouldn't eat everyday. Grrr.
