I am a 34 year old woman who has battled with being overweight for as long as I can remember. Through my life I've tried some of the common weight loss methods, ie Weight Watchers, Nutritionist, and going to the gym. Although in recently years I have greatly improved my eating habits, I have not been able to get my weight under control. This March I had a life changing event happen, my father passed away unexpectedly. This caused me not only to reevaluate how I was living my life; it also had a negative effect on me physically. As a result I developed high blood pressure. This is combination with being overweight and having a diagnosis that is exacerbated by being overweight, fibromyalgia, I decided that it was time to get my life under control. I knew then, that if I did not lose weight that I would have no guarantee that I would live a full life and that the quality of my life would be poor. So that was as people saw, the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I am now excited about the possibilities that will now be open to be that I am going my health and overall life together.
