I'm just beginning this journey. I have been overweight most of my adult life. I have been married for 36 years. I have one son who is married and has two children. My grandson is 7 and my grandaughter is 2. I have worked for the Veterans Administration for 32 years. I am looking forward to retiring soon.  I want to be able to do things with my family. I also have COPD so I feel like I'm in a vicious circle. If I try to exercise I get short of breath. I know this means a dramatic change in the way I eat and exercise, but I'm tired of being the way I am. I'm doing this for me.
