Not the happiest day of my life

Every little girl knows that the happiest days of their lives are their weddings and the birth of any children they may have. For me, my wedding day was not the happiest day. I was pushing 300 pounds (286 pounds), very uncomfortable in my dress, and completely consumed on how much of a whale I felt and looked. The happiest day of my life came months after my marriage: December 1, 2008 when I decided to make a change and joined Weight Watchers. From that date to January 19, 2008 I have lost a total of 17 pounds and I am never looking back. My first MAJOR goal is to be out of the 200's so I can do my wedding over again the right way so it can truly be the happiest day of my life.
