About

Name is Alicia.

I’m 21 years old and 167.8 lbs, and this is my story.

I’ve always been the overweight girl. Ever since 3rd grade. When it came time to wear juniors clothing I never wore smaller then a 9.

My parents split up when I was 12 and this may have been one of the biggest reasons that I am overweight. I’m not saying this was the sole factor of my weight gain, but I am an emotional eater, and a divorce makes you eat your feelings.

I’ve always been really active so I can’t say that a sedentary lifestyle was what made me gain the weight either. I have always played sports and I was certainly a tomboy growing up, always wanting to play outside.

No matter how I got here, I am here. I have accepted that I am overweight and that I need to do something about this. Im ready to lose the weight and have no intentions of finding it. Ever. Again.

I started this journey at 210 lbs at Christmas 2011. I decided that when I got home, I was going to get serious about my weight loss. Ever since then I have lost over 40 lbs and am on the journey of my life.

I live in Virginia, but am originally from Maine, and that state has my heart, to be honest. I cant wait for the moment I can move back.

I am married. My husband is in the military and currently deployed. My husband is my world, and I want to be able to spend a long and happy life with him.
