My name is Wendy. I am a 47 yr old single mom of 4, ages 25, 23, 22, and 17.99. My youngest turns 18 this month.
I was born and raised in upstate NY. I've been in California for 26 years. My oldest daughter is married and I have 2 grandsons. My son graduated college last June and my middle daughter will finish college in January. My youngest daughter will graduate high school in June.
I was thin until age 30, but of course I didn't always know that. My ex-husband loved to remind me, "If you ever get fat, I'll divorce you." After having my last baby, I weighed 120lb. That was unacceptable and so the yo-yo dieting began. Needless to say, I always gained back more than I lost. Well, with the exception of March 1999 when I lost 200lbs by kicking that man out of my house! =D> Since then, I raised my kids, got a college degree, and a county job.
This summer, we will be moving to North Carolina. I am looking forward to being near my extended family again and a simpler, less expensive life.
