getting my health back

I am an almost 45-year-old female who had, for the most part, made peace with my size. Sure, I wouldn’t complain if I was smaller and weighed less. But as long as I was healthy, I was learning to appreciate my body for what it is and not long for something it is not.

At my annual check up  in February 2010, I learned my bad cholesterol shot up. My blood pressure is borderline. An x-ray and subsequent CT scan revealed pericardial fat. So I am not as healthy as I was and I want to get my health back. If I shrink in the process, that’s great.
