I want to give myself the gift of being healthy, confidence and energy I can put toward my kids and interests, rather than always wasting it on food, weight, and feeling bad about myself. I know it gets harder to lose weight the older you get, and I really want to set myself up to have an easier time.
I've never had confidence that food, eating and body image could take a back seat to joy and happiness. I feel like I always have a frown on my face and food is a constant source of stress and preoccupation. But I am sure that the first thing I need to change is my outlook and optimism.
Starting here, hoping to get and give encouragement and not continue the private torture that weight loss and healthy, good for my body eating has added to my life for over 25 years.
Good luck, everyone!! Glad to be here!
