I am 20-30 pounds overweight from medication (which dulls me and makes me tired) and lack of exercise, and from not eating the best foods. I want to eat a healthier diet, permanently, and learn now to make meals for myself that are healthy and do this consistently. I want to get into the routine of drinking more water and exercising every day and learning to “ground” myself (stay in the present), get my panic and anxiety under control, learn to relax and learn to exercise my mind more and live life fully; not waste a single day! I want to give up smoking and drinking altogether (I don’t drink coffee anymore) and see the dentist regularly (grin). I am moving soon and it’s hard to change things right now, but after I move to my permanent place I will have a “home base” where I can go to relax, to help me with my goals and I believe I will be successful. I want to be healthy and happy and live a long, productive life! Good luck to everyone! 2 years ago

I am a 36 year old mother of two with a very loving and supportive husband. I am 5 ft 3 inches tall, and I weigh 235 lbs. i have been avoiding this issue for a very long time, because obviously it is easier than dealing with it. I have preached a lot over the years about “doing something about it” and now my husband treats me like the boy who cried wolf. I don’t blame him. I know this battle is one I have to fight on my own, no one can do it for me but only support me. And making excuses won’t cut it anymore, or trying to find the “right reason” to do it. There is no 1 reason…many many reasons too numerous to count but each one as important as the last. I am very tired of feeling fat and ugly and sick and lethargic. I want to run and play and dance with my family. Any support given would be humbly and graciously received. 3 years ago
