Hello
Hey! I'm Em, a mother, wife, and professor.
I really hate diets and most exercise. However, I'm having some health issues and it really seems like the only way to get my problems taken seriously is to lose some weight.
I eat fairly well, but I have a problem with portions and with sweets. I generally hate exercise as I am clumsy and self-conscious. But I know making healthy food choices and being more active are what I need to do. I'm not really focused on losing a number of pounds (but I'd aim for 100-150 if I wanted to set numbers, but that sounds so daunting!); I want to feel like I've made healthy choices and to have something to show for it. Having the numbers down will help the docs see there really is a problem un-related to weight. But I also worry about the numbers because we are seeing that yo-yoing is more unhealthy for a body than being overweight but active.
So that's me. I think too much. I'm self-conscious. I'm daunted. I'm clumsy. And I'm hopeful that y'all will help me in a quest to make a new lifestyle for myself.
--Em
