I have been fighting my weight since I was a child, but I lost and gained the same 10 lbs until my first child was born. I gained 98 lbs. with my first pregancy and the weight has been a major factor in my life ever since. That was almost 26 years ago and being in my mid forties, it is long over due to gain some power with a new tool to take back control over food and the weight. I want to be alive and healthy to enjoy my children, grandchildren and one day - great grandchildren. It is time to enjoy life again and not want to hide behind everyone else when pictures are taken.
This is a journey that I look forward to.
