I'm a 38 year old nurse and mother of 2. I've been overweight all of my life except for a few years a few times when I got sick with pregnancy and lost alot of weight. I always relate time periods to whether I was "skinny then" or "fat then". Being overweight has been a vicious cycle for me emotionally and physically. Emotionally, it makes me depressed and I eat more; don't even get me started on my low self-esteem. Physically, my weight gave me sleep apnea which makes me too tired to exercise. Go figure!

Anyway, anyone who says they don't care about weight loss for cosmetic purposes is lying to themselves. I don't like looking this way! I have a nice figure under all these rolls and I want to show it! I know that I'm pretty and want to live out the rest of my time getting attention for the right reason. Of course I want to be healthy; I'm a cardiac nurse and I know what awaits me if I don't do something now!! I have 2 teenage boys and I want to have fun with them while I still can. I don't want to sit my life away in my home. I love to have fun and am ready to have some again!!

I want to get married someday and don't want to buy a plussize wedding dress!! I want to be able to paint my own toenails! I want to be able to reach my ass to wipe it! Sorry but it's getting harder as I get fatter! I want to be able to sit in a chair and not worry if I'm going to break it! I want to make love to my man and be out of breath for the RIGHT reason! I want to be noticed; I feel invisable now! I want to have family portrait done but refuse to spend money to immortalize myself looking like Miss Piggy!!
