Who Am I?

That is an excellent question. Years have passed and I am only now starting to figure it out. One thing I am for sure of is that I am not happy with my place in the world now. That is where MiE comes in...

Name: Kathy
Age: Almost 28 (on February 4th)
Height: 5'8"
Weight: That is one topic I will never broach. It is not about the number but about the mirror. Women focus on that too much anyway.
Status: Married with a stepson
Occupation: Administrative Assistant
Why: It started with a fun competition with my sister-in-law and blossomed into me using MiE, Express MiE that is, to get my life back in order. I have been married for almost 2 years and all but forgot about myself. How could I let that happen? Simple...I put EVERYONE'S needs before mine. My husband, my stepson, my boss, my work, my family, my friends and by the end of the day I have nothing left and when I say nothing I actually mean...NOTHING. I slowly started gaining weight and never stopped to care to do anything about. Humiliating actually. What am I left with? Nothing. An empty bucket just needing to be filled and unfortunately nobody can do that for me. I am finally doing it for myself. Welcome to my "time to get hot and I don't mean temperature" journey.

  1. You are very couragous indeed Kathy and very inspirational! It is so great to see you at Express MiE all determined and strong- it's uplifting to all of us!!
    I can totally identify with the "everyone's needs first" deal. It wasn't until very recently I realized that I couldn't really be helpful to anyone anyway if I wasn't attending to me first.

    Good for you that you are ready and doing something for yourself!!

    I'm sending all the most heartfelt support, strength and hi-fives I can, and I know you are a success already!!!
    Rock on!
