Hi, I'm New Here
I'm so happy to have found this site. I turned 45 last year and I realize that I'm just too fat. I used to exercise all the time, I even taught aerobics. I knew then that the only way to stay fit was to exercise and I somehow stopped. I don't know why or when but I did. I stopped watching what I ate and the next thing I knew I weighed 170lbs. I was devastated. Then after several years of trying to conceive, I gained even more weight. Asthma meds that I took caused my already borderline blood sugar skyrocket, which caused me to gain weight. I find myself here now, sick and fat and not happy about it at all.
I tried a few things and have had moderate success which allowed me to lose about 6 lbs but I slide back into my old ways and gain more weight. I recently spoke to my brother, to whom I swore I would never lie. He told me I was fat and I got mad at him. I realized at that moment, that I was lying to myself and I had been for years. Yes, I am fat, and I know what to do. Eat less and exercise more. I just can't seem to find my groove and because of my blood sugar issues, it takes a long time for me to see results.
I'm hoping that I can find the strength to do this really for the rest of my life with the help of this community. I've seen some amazing success stories from people just like me, I am committed to becoming one of those successes.
