The Beginning of the Rest of My Life

I am overwhelmed with excitement, anxiety and thoughts of my upcoming surgery on May 18th. I look so forward to putting the weight behind me so that I can truly live as my authentic self. I've struggled with this weight my entire adult life and like many others here, I've yo-yo'd from 20-60lbs going up and down, and I must say it has been exhausting. I am anticipating the times where my weight is stable and I have one size in my closet, and most importantly, not ever having to try another diet fad again!

The biggest struggle for me is that I've been in the fitness expert for years, I've owned and published a health and fitness magazine and I'm a certified personal training. So with this said, I've been in my own way to reach my true pinnacle of success.

I look forward to connecting with the other members on this site, while I mentally prepare and travel this journey, thanks in advance for the support and confidence I will need to succeed.

Welcome,

Certainly glad you decided to joint he ban-wagon to a successful path. I am very excited as well to be doing this process and being apart of something that others can witness, comment on and take part in. This is like a huge support system which is needed when it comes to having success. Have also tried the all kinds of diets but all have failed me. I am in the same boat as you when you say it has been an exhausting journey. Look forward to hearing from you as you continue through this journey to a successful you.
