Hello,
My name is Tally and I currently live in the Bay Area and earlier this year I made the choice and commitment to take care of ME...I've been struggling with my weight most of my life and have tried many tactics to rid myself of the extra pounds...But in the most recent years, I have found that most of my health-related issues are due to my excessive weight....I want to live life and be able to have great memories and most importantly not die because of weight contributed illnesses...So, I did my research and had my first appointment with my PCP and had a favorable conversation with him and to have his support meant alot...Next, was sharing with my hubby my desire...and by grace he has been supportive throughout this journey...so you may ask where am I within this journey...well let me share...
