Well, tomorrow starts my first day. First day of my low carb diet. First day of starting to feel better about myself. First day to health and happiness! I wasn't always overweight. Sure, Iwas chunky in my teens, but when I met my husband I was a size 2. Living in Florida made it east to get out and exercise. I've always been an all or nothing eater so at that point it was starve all day if it meant going out to eat at night. In my twenties I could starve myself for a few days and I would be right back into shape. My how things change when you hit your thirties. Since that time, I have gotten married, moved to Wisconsin and have two beautiful daughters. I go through periods of dieting and/or exercising but it never seems to stick. I can't seem to lose any of this baby weight no matter how hard I try. And after trying and failing, I get depressed and eat. I want to bea good role model for my daughters. I want to be able to tell people I used to be a gymnast without feeling horribly embarassed. I just want to feel good about me again. I'm hoping this website will be a good source of support and information. I need to do something - cause this overweight life of mine isn't working!!
