I am a nuse, switching fields currently to oncology.  I have 3 kids, and am back with my ex-husband.   Going strong for 8 years!!  IHave always been a heavy girl, but until my 30's it was not too much of an issue.  Now that my metabolism has slowed, I am turning from Sexy Big Girl, to just plain fat!  I visited Jenny Craig and that alcoholics anonymnous wannabe, weight watchers, and cried, bought a triple chocolate fudge cake, and proceeded to celebrate my fatness.  Reality set ihn again.  I have been doing Curves for a few weeks now, and have gaineed another pound or two.  This sucks.  My calorie intake is on average between 1400-1650 per day.  I have my occasional blown days of 200-2100, but that's about every other week or so.  My hubby and I ae planning a trip to Las Vegas for Valentine's day, and I would really like to be back to my Sexy Big Girl thing, simply because I know I won't be one hot mamma by then.
