Welcome. My name is Amanda and I'm a 23 year old mother with a lot of weight to lose. This isn't a boring log in which I detail everything I ate for the day with calories carefully counted alongside of each entry. However this journal will be active and updated on a daily basis. It will cover all aspects of my situation from the mundane to the bigger stuff.

This journal is geared specifically to my weight loss journey; my main journal can be found over at speedcleanqueen. I have over 60lbs to lose and plan to use this journal as my safe space to write about all of my weight struggles and hopefully the eventual triumphs. I will be selectively adding because I plan to write down and hold myself for accountable for everything I eat/think/do good or otherwise. I need this structure for myself. Its called onestepmama because mama is my nickname at home and I have to learn to take this journey one step at a time.

If you are friends with me over at speedcleanqueen I will inform you that I do have different ideas for this journal. I may experiment a bit with my writing/attempt humor even! I've always wanted to be a newswriter/magazine writer/etc and I think that this blog will be a fun attempt at something along those lines.

So even if you have just simply stumbled across this journal and are going through your own weight issues/ goals/ struggles what have you...you are welcome to add me with a comment if you feel this could be of help to you too.
