TraciH
I have been the athlete, stayed fairly healthy until I was 24 yrs old and diagnosised with I.T.P, it destroyed my health to say the very least. I was put on high dosages of steriods and blew up like a balloon, I was miserable. My daughter was 4 yrs old and even as she grew up I felt like I was cheating her out of having a healthy mother. I did my best to make sure she never had a problem with her weight like I did in my 20's and now that I have hit the 40 mark, I need a permanant change. I have been on yo yo diets for 15 yrs, at one time I even lost 65 lbs, getting down to 203 this was a treat for me, but then I lost my job, stopped moving and just gained it all back plus some. I need to change it all for me, I want to grow old with my grand children, I want my new grand daughter to have a grandmother to grow up with. She is a great motivator, but I need this for me! The journey is not going to be easy but I need to start somewhere.
