I have been overweight since I was a child.  I was always the joke at school.  Diets would work for a while but as soon as the first emotional trauma or non-loss week would arrive, I was off the wagon and back on the eating trail.  Weight Watchers would always work but as soon as the counselor kept changing, I would lose interest.  I witnessed a friend after her lap band and all the little victories.  I decided in January that I wanted a victory.  Just once in my life, I wanted to be thinner.  Now, the weight I was in school is considered my goal weight for my height and age.  I am about 25 pounds to that goal.  I worked so hard to get the approval from my insurance and I have so much to live for.  This is the last diet.  My husband was just diagnosed as diabetic so we're dieting and working out together.  I cannot wait till this time next year to see how far I've come on my journey.
