I'm 37 years old, born and raised in NYC, now living in Miami Beach, were I found love and got married 3 years ago, no kids yet!...

I didn't really have a problem with my weight until I turned 27, in fact I was in good shape back then. After getting my heart broken a few times and letting the pressure of finding love take over me I turned to food, wine and chick flicks big time.
Since I stopped having a social life altogether I didnt realize the weight I was putting on, changed my body and also my self esteem. I decided to stop taking pictures, obviously because of the way I looked in them and so I decided to let myself succumb in self pity. I was gaining approximately 2 to 3 pounds per year, flabby fat you know what I mean.
My self esteem collapsed and so did everything around me.
I figure I was not going to ever get back on my feet, since it was hard to stop indulging in food and wine which were basically my only immediate satisfactions.
When I met my husband I had been jogging for a couple of months so I looked leaner than I had in years. But when we decided to get married I totally let go of all the pressure of fitness and started to indulge again in a big way, I guess I was also trying to impress him with cooking, what a mistake that was. By the time I came to I had gained 15 lbs in less than a year.
My husband and I live across the ocean. He is very well fit, loves the beach and being lean. I also love the ocean but have not worn a bathing suit in over 10 years and he knows it. He tries to encourage me to exercise and eat healthier but it only makes me feel worse.
So one day last year around march or april I saw the power 90 infomercial and immediately it inspired me into getting the program, which I did to no avail, I had many fall outs, didnt take advantage of the online support and eventually just stopped doing it altogether. I took a job instead, which kept me as busy as possible. I gained 5 more lbs!!! and my husband and I started to have problems in every area of our lives. I thought this is not the path I want to take in life, I want to look good, have children and feel confident and succesful about something in life. I KNOW I CAN DO IT!!!... and I will!
I decided to take my life back, so I ordered a different set of the beach body workout program and started just a few days ago. TURBOJAM I thought this energetic and fun program will do it for me this time, I will do something about it, I will commit. I will monitor my progress and follow the health programs and inspiration that they allow.
It has only been a week... I know I have a long way to go... But my goal is to be able to wear a two piece bathing suit for the first time in my life and enjoy the waves of the sea with my husband this summer.
