Well, I have been a obese person my entire life. I tried every diet known to man. I started Weight Watchers at the age of 9 and diet doctors soon after. No matter what I did, I was never successful for very long. Why do I sabbotage myself??? I decided in May of 2003 after giving birth to my twins that the time had come! I have to get this excess weight off so I will be able to be around for my kids and hopefully, never be an embarrassment to them. So, on July 7, 2006, my new life began. It is still a work in progress. I am still sabbotaging myself but not to the extent that I was before. I am still dealing with head rather than stomach hunger. However, I am learning to try to tell my head I have other things to do rather than eat. I am hoping that the battle is coming to an end.
