Hungry Caterpillar

I have always felt overweight, yet I look back at pictures of me as a young girl and I know I wasn't then. Now, I'm not concerned with how I look. I realize I am nearing the age my father was when he died of a heart attack. If I don't quell the weight, I won't live to see my daughter get married and have children. I want to be there for her and I want to reach retirement age so that I can enjoy it with my husband. For me, it's become about health more than appearances.
