I'm married to a wonderful man and we have 4 beautiful daughters. My family is a very active one. My husband is involved in different board sports and owns a wakeskate company (which I help run)... and my girls are all star cheerleaders (which I help coach). ) I am also a waitress... but looking to get back into the medical field... possibly emergency medicine... not too sure yet. I guess now that my kids are getting older... It's time for me to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. :) Needless to say... I really want to.... really NEED to... lose weight. I want to be able to keep up with my family. And I want to be able to physically handle whatever profession I choose to go into. Because my husband and I had kids so young... by the time I'm 40... my oldest will be 22... and my youngest 16. Life will be starting over for us... and I want to be ready for it! I've seriously tried every diet/exercise program/pill/patch/shake and protein bar out there. I've always looked for a quick fix. I will admit that my relationship with food has not been a healthy one in the past. I've gone from rail thin with iron deficiency from not eating... to heavier than I've ever been even at the end of any of my 4 pregnancies. I know that this will require a mindset. As I get older... I know that there are plenty of things in this world that I cannot control. But this isn't one of them. My health is MY responsibility... and I CAN lose weight... for myself... and for my family. (Now just to remember that next time the family order's out...)
Here's to life changes....
