Hi,
I am a 40-something year old who is a medical professional. I coach/encourage my patients to make life changes everyday about their weight, cholesterol, smoking, etc. But, sometimes IT IS easier said than done. I know what it feels like to want to lose weight. I have struggled with my weight for years and years. I have gained and lost several pounds in those years. And I know, too, that my story isn't unusual. But the realization of having, no-needing, to lose wight really hits home when it's not possible for me to get health insurance due to my weight. I tell my patients every day that the process of incorporating better habits is a lifelong one; but, being gentle with yourself during this time of change is crucial to sucess. It makes no sense to beat yourself up if part of the process takes a different turn. Either the detour happened for a reason OR recognition of the detour is necessary and try to get yourself back on track. Now is the time for me to take my own advice.

My long term goal is to lose weight. My ultimate goal is to run my 1st 5K marathon and become a fitness model. If only to say that I did it.
