Me, Myself, and I


My name is Christina. I have two absolutely amazing and beautiful little girls, a 4 year old and a 9 month old. I love them, but they're time consuming. I also work full-time as an executive assistant, and I am not the type of person that leaves work at work. I work weekends, nights, holidays, everything. Not because I have to, but because it is a part of me. But I want to change this, and now seems as good a time as any.

I am one week away from my 30th birthday and despite what everyone says, I am TERRIFIED. Part of me is accepting that the end of my 20's means that it is time to grow up and be an adult, not that I'm not already, but it just seems so final, being out of my 'early years'. The biggest fear that I have, is that people die in their 30's. Before 30, its a 'tragic accident' when someone dies, an unforeseen event. After 30? Preventable.

You see, I'm a big girl. I've always been “fluffy” as I like to call it, but it is time for me to own up. I am obese, morbidly obese. I can make any excuse in the book, and trust me, I have plenty, as to why I am obese, but the fact is that I need to change NOW if I want to continue to be around for my girls.
