My story is not much different that most people on this site. I've battled with my weight since my late 20's. When I first started gaining weight I kept telling myself...."oh it's only 5 lbs I can lose it". Then another 5 and another and so on and now here I am well beyond where I ever thought I would be.
Life then got busy, focus was put on the family, work, friends, aging parents etc and I put myself on the back burner. I have finally, at age 47 decided that I am so worth it and enough with putting everyone else ahead of myself. If I don't look after me, then how can I be healthy and "ok" to look after everyone else?? So here I am....looking after me for a change, doing something about my weight.
I've yoyo'd so much, been on every fad diet known to man and bought a ton of gadgets and pieces of home equipment to "help shape your body and lose the weight" etc etc etc....I've spend so much money on everything you can possibly imagine in the way of diets pills, diet books, exercise equipment, transdermal patches, herbal medication, accupuncture....and the list goes on.
This is my final ditch effort to lose my weight and keep it off. I'm looking at this as a tool and a gift to help me achieve my goals, change my lifestyle and essentially change my life for the better.
