Hello! My name is.....

My name is Diana and I'm 5'7'' and 195 lbs. 5 years ago, I had just graduated HS and was in pretty good shape. I moved from Cali to UT with a family BFF. I started working full time and met my husband. :) We hang out every evening and pig out on my most absolute favorite food in the world.....PIZZA! For breakfast, I'd usually have a hot pocket, McD's, or something else that was quick and easy. 6 months later I was married and 15 lbs. heavier. A while after that, I added on another 15 lbs. A month shy of our 2nd anniversary we welcomed our 1st child, a baby girl. I returned to my pre-prego weight, but not the same shape. My hips were wider and my belly was saggier. I went from a size 13 to a 16. I'd complain to my husband who would tell me how sexy he still found me. (Isn't he sweet!) Fast forward a couple more years to baby #2, our baby boy. DD is now 2 1/2, and our DS is 2 months. Dillion (DH) still finds me sexy, but I so do not. So, I joined WeightWatchers. I lost 3.8 lbs in the 1st week! Whoo-Hoo! I'm starting to eat healthier, well trying to, it takes a lot more time and effort than I'm used to. Add in trying to keep DD out of the toothpaste, oatmeal, and whatever else her evil genius mind thinks up and making sure DS is entertained, it's pretty tough some days. Sometimes my DH will come home and find me in near tears because DD colored on the wall with a sharpie marker, DS is fussy and won't let me set him down, I've only been able to eat a bite of bread cuz I was too worried about something else, or I haven't got anything done around the house. Usually it's a combo of it all. :) I am determined to make this work though and find balance in this 30 ring circus! (Yes, I did mean to put 30 and not 3)
