My story is like many of yours, I was an overweight kid always. I am one out of 5 siblings. Funny enough ALL my siblings have always been skinny, including my 2 sisters that "suffered" from being too thin when we were kids. Mind you, they ate more than I did. No, no I do not have a thyroid problem, after many visits to doctors over the years it comes down to basically a slower metabolism than them.

I've always been a happy person, even when i was overweight in my teens, it bothered me at times but not too much. I think now that I'm in my 30's and it's affecting my health and after I was already almost skinny for about a decade it REALLY bothers me.

I had my son Jordan when I was 22, his father and I were not together for long after, we separated when Jordan was 1-1/2 and it was just him and I for a long time and I LOVED it. I think it made us very close and we bonded in a special way. My issues with my weight also scare me because I want to set a good example for him, his father also has weight issues. Thankfully we both work hard to try and keep Jordan eating healthy and active but I believe the best way to teach is by example. 

I currently work for a roofing contractor here in Miami, Florida where I was born and raised. I'm the accounting manager and have been with them for 3 years.

That's just a little about me and my life.....
