Summer Slim Down: Hello from Washington

Sunday, May 5, 2013

Hello from Washington

My name is Katie and I live in Seattle, Washington. We have three little ones our daughter is 8 and sons 5 and 3. My husband works at Amazon and I get to be a stay at home Mommy and once in while us my cosmetology licensee and do a little hair.

I'm excited about this challenge. After my third child was born it was difficult to lose the weight. My husband was finishing up his PhD and my son was very colonic his first year. Then the job hunt happened and we moved. So now that things are more settled its time to get down to business. I love healthy foods BUT I'm not going to lie I'm totally an emotional eater. Then I eat sweets. So I'm excited to take this challenge with you gals!

I met Stephanie 6ish years ago when we lived in Utah and were in the same ward.

I actually go out to Parma for work a lot. I bet you know that little cafe and the drive in theater. I went to college in Seattle and lived in issaquah for about 4 years. My brother in law used to work at amazon too (Andy Riden). Small world!

Oh man, emotional eating is my nemesis, too! Stress, sadness, anger, you name it. I fuel it with food. If you figure out how to overcome that you have to share!!

I am an emotional eater too!! I also graze when I am bored, so I have to keep myself busy or I find myself in the freezer looking for something yummy! :)
