Updated picture of me and Carter on his birthday, April 08.

This picture of me is actually when I was very thin and very sick. But it's one of my favorite pictures. I had celiac disease and didn't yet know it. I was down to 132 pounds then. Many people were worried that I looked so sickly thin. When we figured out that I had Celiac disease, and I started the gluten free diet, I gained almost all of the weight back! Before I got pregnant, I was 154 and about a size 13 and very satisfied at that weight most of the time. I didn't think it was possible for me to be below that. Then when I kept losing weight after the baby was born, I liked being thinner and being a size 10. I don't think I want to be 132. My goal is about 140 and I want it to be a healthy 140 with toned muscle. I don't want the sickly skin and bones look I had at 132. I may decide that I want to lose more than 140, but that is my goal right now.
Mostly, I just want to be healthy. I want to enjoy eating, but I don't want to use food to bury emotions or deal with stress. I don't want binges to have a place in my life.
I am doing this to feel better about myself and I'm doing this for my family so I can live a longer, healthier life.
