I have struggled with the weight loss process for about 20 yrs now. I have tried all kinds of diets and programs. I still cant lose the weight. I am so looking forward to dropping the pounds I can hardly stand it.I have hi cholesterol and hi blood pressure. My thyroid is also a problem and I am afraid of diabetes, since my mom has it so bad. I suffer from acid reflux really bad. I know things arent going to be easy, but I am all ready to get started. I also suffer from mild depression. My days and nites are filled with caring for my bed ridden mom. She is 79 and was in a severe car accident in Oct 08. On that day my life changed forever. She requires 24 hr care.I do have a home care lady for the week days and I have mom on nites and all weekend. So much for the social life....I love my mom and she took care of me for 18 yrs and now its my turn to help her.It does get to ya after awhile, but I try to remain positive and strong no matter what happens.
