I'm 37 years old as of last weekend! I have been overwieght all of my life. I decided that it was time to stop blaming it on everyone but myself. I have 2 kids. Allie, 16 and Jon, 14. I have been married for 9 years and my husband could care less if I lose weight or not. Both of my children are very active in sports and school activities and I want to have the energy to keep up with them and them not be embarrassed to introduce me to thier friends! I have always been told that I am pretty and that I carry the wieght well, what a joke! I actually believed it for all of these years! WAKE UP!!
