My Story:
I have 100 pounds to lose - it's been done before several years ago - it was so frickin' hard - and then I gained it all back. Now, after 10 yrs, I'm ready to start again but I'm really terrified of the "fight" and then -- what if I fail AGAIN? What if I can't keep it off? I need a lot of support and inspiration. My health is being GREATLY affected by this weight. I mean, sure, it makes me look like hell but, as I get older, the health problems are just becoming to obvious to overlook. But, a little about me: I'm divorced, I have a 17 year old son, I've worked for the State of Texas for 12 years as a caseworker (though I have a bachelors in criminal justice) and I'm ready to start dating again, too, but not looking (and feeling) like this! Man, I hope I can do this.
