My Bio...were do I start??
I'm 39 years old, have a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful children (girl age 13 & boy age 12). My life thus far has been fantastic except for one thing...my weight!
I've been fighting this weight battle for as long as I can remember. It consumes me day & night - I think about how horrible I feel when I go to bed at night with promises of starting "fresh" tomorrow, and I think about it in the morning with new eyes. By afternoon, I've usually given into temptation and then the process repeats. Because of my obsessing, I've yo-yo dieted most of my adult life.
1 month ago I went to my Dr. for a physical (after 2 years). She was shocked to see I had gained over 20 lbs in that time frame and she gave me some much needed advice. If I don't stop what I'm doing, I may not live to see my grandchildren one day. She recommended a government approved diet (covered by my provincial health insurance) and I've been on this for just over 2 weeks and am happy to say, I've lost 7 lbs and feel great! I think my mind is made up that THIS year and before my 40th birthday in June 2011, I will be at a weight that makes me happy!
