I'm a 48 year old wife of 28 years, a mom of two grown childern and a grandma of my 7 year old Isaac. I have been dedicated to healthy eating and lifestyle for 25 years. (excusefree) I have been certified in Nutrition for 10 years. I have a direct sales business that is very successful.
I was disciplined for years to run, bike, walk, lift weights,aerobics, I always had some plan and exercise regiment, but I always wanted to lose some more weight. I was addicted for a few years to appetite suppressants, just 1 or 2 aday, but I didn't have energy without them. I fasted & cleansed for long periods (over 10days) too many times. I lost and gained the same 10 or 20 lbs. over and over again.
In the last 2 1/2 years, I finally decided to stop the diets. Consistant exercise faded out of my life, also. I started my own business, and was on my behind in front of a computer hours aday. I hit menapause, (not too bad, except for the weight gain) I only ate 2x aday, usally noon and 7pm. Or not eat until late afternoon, and continue to eat until bedtime. I ate the right food, very healthy, but not the right amounts at the right times. My marriage was under stress, All this together was a recipe for disaster, I ended up with 45lbs of fat to get rid of. I never had been more then 15lbs overweight. I stopped and started a weightloss program so many times, I've lost count. All of the above are the reasons for my weight gain, not an excuse.
I asked God for help, finally. I got real with myself, swallowed my pride and decided I needed help, support and accountability.
Thank God, this is an answer to my prayers. I've found it here with slim in 6 newbies message board with Rochellern and Barbara34. We are like a family with a common goal. To be fit, trim and toned. Thanks MDB
