First post....

I don't do well with coming up with blog titles so I am using the painfully obvious "First post..."
I decided to start this blog as a way to talk about the weight struggles I have gone through most of my life. I had another journal but felt a bit censored with what I wrote there. I feel this will give me a bit more freedom to speak my mind.
Full disclosure here - I have been overweight most of my life. I remember the first time I was called chubby was in pre-school. It has been a daily 'struggle' since I tried to fit into societal norms. I have been on so many 'diets' that I can't even count them any more. I've come to that point in my life where I am trying to be happier in my own skin. This sometimes is derailed by comments or perceived comments about myself. I do not think weight is really an 'issue' or a 'problem' I feel that people thinking it is an 'issue' or a 'problem' are just that 'issues and problems'.
So, welcome to my blog. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
