When I started

June 2005
I am a fun-loving person who is being held back by the weight that I am carrying. I am finding it so difficult to do the things I once enjoyed. Even a short trip to a local store is out of the question now. I stay so tired and worn out that I don't find enjoyment in anything anymore. I just want to feel good again. Sure everyone wants to look good, but for me if I could just feel like walking, going to the mall or even a short outing with my girls, I would be so happy.
I am a 50 year old female who has been overweight just about all my life. I have done so many diets I can't even count them. I failed miserably with each one. I did Weight Watchers at least 4 different times. Of course I lost weight, only to gain it back with a few extra pounds for added insurance in case I ever decided to try and starve myself again. So the weight would always come back. I am the mother of 3 wonderfully grown children and the grandmother of 2 precious grandchildren. Lucas who is six and Zoe who is almost 6 months. They are the light of my life. My main reason for deciding to explore this method of weight loss is one: everything else has failed but more important than that is my quality of life. As I stated earlier, I just want to physically be able to do the things I enjoy. The weight is such a burden now that it dictates everything that I do and most of what I don't do. I feel as through I am a prisoner in my own body. It's not just about the way I look. Heck, I've lived my entire life being overweight and unattractive, so that's never been an issue with me. It's something I got used to. But now, I can't stand in church long enough to get through the praise and worship phase of the service. It's more than a chore and burden for me to have to go into a store to do any shopping. I have to weigh if it's worth the torture I'm putting myself though.
