26 years old and recently married. Never should a bride not want to see her wedding photos. Monday, June 2nd, I made the decision to change my life while I still have it. My life long dream is to have children and with failed attempts and visits to the infertility dr, enough finally became enough.
I have lived in fear and friendship with food long enough. Hating to exercise or eat correctly due to emotional climates at the time has gotten me to the 290lbs I am today. Somehow I look back over the years and look at all the excuses that I made for gaining more wait. Usually it was, "I still look good, so it's cool". Dealing with mounting depression and irritation because of my failure to take responsibility for my own actions. No one forced the food and laziness upon me. I have the support system that I need to make it through my journey now and I plan to be successful.
Numerous diets I have tried and somehow failed.
Atkins
Dr. Ians Fat Smash Diet (both of them)
Food Lovers
Weight Watchers
Protein Shake Diets
Biggest Loser Program at my Gym
Joining 3 gyms
Craigslist looking for Gym Partners
You name it I have tried it......
