My Story

My weight has been something that I have battled all of my adult life but I managed to keep it under control until about 12 years ago, then I got tired. Tired of watching every bite that I put in my mouth and tired of exercising all the time.
Since then my weight has ballooned and as I am getting closer to 50 I decided it was time for me to take control again and start feeling like myself again instead of the fat, hurting, lazy person that I have become. I am also scared of the adverse effects my weight wil have on my health.
I want to be me again and feel like finally after losing my way I am on the right track again!
