About Me!
Hi!
Thank you for coming to my page. First, let me tell you that this page is a work in progress. I’ll probably be constantly changing the format and the way I do my posts. I won’t always post (though I’ll try!) but my aim is to at least keep it active.
A little about myself:

Yep, that’s me on the floor fixing the cow’s ear
My name is Jessie and I am 26 years old. I work in theatre as a props artisan at a theatre in Louisville KY. I’m in love with my job, and it allows me to keep up with my passion of theatre while also allowing me to work with my creative side in construction/graphic design/art/sewing. I really am trying to change my awful lifestyle to help the environment, and usually tend to use organic/natural products as much as my small budget will allow me. I’m obsessed with green bags. I almost have one from every store that sells one that I have been into.

See? I wasn’t lying, I have on from the Disney store
I have been overweight my entire life, there is not a day that I know that I can’t say I don’t think of the fact and wish it wasn’t so. In high school I was on Weight Watchers which was good while it lasted. I did lose a good amount of weight, but being the weight that I am it always seems like an endless cycle and I’ll never reach the finish line so I stopped. Since then I’ve gained close to 100 lb. It’s shocking me to come to grips with, especially because I didn’t realize I had gained that much weight. I’m probably only 2-3 sizes away from my high school weight, and I never thought much of it until I finally stepped on the scale.
I am finally deciding to turn my life for the better and make the changes that will allow me to lose the weight, and be healthier in mind AND body. This page was set up to coincide with my youtube channel. I believe that changing slowly and developing those habits early on will only lead to success. I have pretty much begun to eat natural/organic foods (for both health and environmental reasons), but that is still a work in progress. Right now I’m focusing on my eating habits, and trying new and different things or ways of cooking the old stuff to help aid in my new direction. Once I get to a good point, I’ll start posting weigh ins and will be able to keep track of my weight loss, until then I know my starting weight and one day you will too.
