I have been overweight for the past 16 years. After the birth of my
son, I could never get the extra weight off. I tried every diet known
to man and nothing seemed to work. Over the years, my weight kept
ballooning. So much so that it started affecting my health. I endured
terrible joint pain in my knees and ankles because my 5ft 2in frame
could not withstand the weight. The worse part however is that I had
developed hypertension which I take two different types of medicine
for just to keep it under control and I am pre-diabetic. So, I decided
to finally take control of my life and do something about it. Because
quite frankly at the rate I was going I was not gonna live to see my 50
birthday.
