Here is my story..... I was always the skinny person. My family thought I was anorexic. I think because they were all overweight themselves. Well when I turned 24,25 the pounds crept on. I developed many bad habits and quit working out. In the beginning people would ask me if I was pregnant or had breast implants. Now nothing is said. Just the occasional "You're not THAT Fat." Over a year ago I received the results from my yearly physical. High blood pressure and high triglycerides. I often have a rapid heart beat/pulse. However, I would be lying if I said I wasn't doing this for looks as well. I don't want the obesity to be my truth anymore. God gave me a beautiful body and I can't believe I have rejected it and abused it the way I have. I am 34 years old and I figure now or never. Time is definitely not on my side. I can hide it and try to conceal it or I can face it and fix it.

As you can see on my weight chart I have not been doing very well with my efforts. In my mind there is always tomorrow. Well tomorrow is here and I am disgusted with myself. I have no energy. I can't fit my clothes. My back hurts from all the weight in my stomach. I used to love shopping and now I detest trying on clothes. I crop my body out of pictures. I am unhappy. Well today AND tomorrow I want to be happy.
