I have been obese most of my life. I hit the peak of my weight during my mother's battle with Parkinson's disease, as she grew sicker I grew larger. After she passed away, I looked at a picture of us and realized that I looked more sick than she ever did in the photo because I was so large. I decided I had finally had enough and began my quest for a healthier, thinnner me. I got a trainer, got to the gym and started writing my blog, SkinnyEmmie.
