I have been heavy for a large percentage of my life.  After having my son I apparently gave up the battle completely and became bigger than ever.  This is the first time ever that I have decided to count calories and really change my eating habits and overall lifestyle.  For a little over a year I have been consciously changing my perception of food and have been slowly converting to organic foods and household products.  I am tired of being fat and tired of not fitting in to clothes that I like.  I have also become more aware of the importance of being a conscientious consumer.  It has only been two weeks since I started my "diet" but it is going well and I am trying to stay positive!!
