Hi everyone.
I registered here awhile back and started the SB plan. Along the way, I totally stumbled and just fell off the wagon. I am back now (beginning on 9/27) to get my life together and start taking care of myself. I've been having a lot of problems lately with my back that have me out on disability right now - and the one major thing my doctor told me was to get the weight off. I can't believe how out of control I've gotten. I am almost at my highest weight ever (when I was pregnant with my second child). I don't want to be like this anymore. I am starting to battle depression again, I feel embarrassed when I see my kids' friends, walk in the stores, look at clothes, etc. My husband is behind me 110% to lose the weight and says he loves me the way that I am, and always will - but is frightened for me for health reasons. To put it blunty - it is quicker for me to tell a doctor what
doesn't run in my family than what does.
Right now I am suffering from a few herniated disks and degenerative back disease with arthritis on top of it. I am only 34 - and I feel like I am in my 70's! I don't want to accept this way of life anymore. I have 3 kids that I want to enjoy life with, and my husband as well.
Anyway - this weekend will be spent getting in groceries and reading the book cover to cover. Thanks for letting me come back and I really look forward to walking on the beach with you all to the better lives/feelings that await us in the end.
