I'm a 36-year old Southern girl, tryin' to live the dream. I've been overweight since I was 1, and after the sudden loss of my uncle from obesity-related problems, I decided it's finally time to take control of my life, and break up with my food addiction, once and for all. I have a goal of going kite-boarding on my 40th birthday that I fully intend to realize. I'm following an LCHF eating plan. I also have hypothyroidism.
