Jiffypop, I think it was everything that happened all at once. viewing family pictures, yearly check-up and weigh in, birthday and reminder of my entire mother's side of the family already having passed away. Ther is congestive heart failure and diabetes, not to mention I had gestational dibetes during my first pg which increases my chances by 50% of getting it. I have been over weight for 20 years. My biggest weight loss was 70 lbs total, but that included the weight I lost on the gestational diabetes diet then 30 more after. However, during my second pg and after I put 50 back on. I am just done. I need to be healthy for my kids and for myself. I am a brain tumor survivor and that is something I can not control coming back, but this I can. I am up for the challange and the hard work it will take to finally take my life back.
