I am 34 years old. I have been overweight pretty much since my daughter was born in 2001. I have always been "big boned", but have hid weight well. I have struggled with my weight for the last 9 years, but this year, I don't know, I just decided that it meant more to me than in the past, cuz I would always give up so easily! I want to see my daughter grow up, I want to see my nephews grow up. It's my time to shine, and do it for me! I finally am able to slow down my work schedule and devote some time to me!
