Here I am...about to turn 54 and finally deciding what I want to be when I grow up! My journey started 44 years ago with my first diet - grapefruit and eggs- that my Mom put me on when she decided we both needed to loose some weight. After years of yo yo dieting, prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, hypnosis, packaged meals, exercise addictions, 10 step programs, deprevation and depression, I felt I had to make the necessary changes in my life NOW, or live with the consequences of my deteriorating health.
I decided in July of 2009 that I was going to own the rest of this journey and become the healthy, happy woman that I was meant to be. So, here I am, all grown up and ready to embrace a healthy new life. My highest weight was 332 in July 2009 and my current fighting weight is 282, so while preparing for my surgery I have lost 50 lbs.! . No drugs, no madness, no mania - just common sense sound nutrition with a little movement on my good days (severe oste-oarthritis in both knees and ankles, so not walking any marathons, yet!).
My wish is that I can find support here in bad times and offer support to others at all times. Am I nervous? - of course! Determined? - Absolutely! So come on August 2nd, I am ready to get this show on the road!
Be Well!
Susan
