I am 55 years old. I have been overweight since I was around 34 yrs old. I thought I was before that but I wasn't...it was vanity.I am caring for my father who has Lymphoma and a mother who can barely walk and a sister who has had a stroke...all in my home. I get depressed and worn out and consequently I take care of everyone but myself. Now I am trying to take care of me for a change! (while still taking care of them) I have lost 18 lbs so far and I have 60 lbs to go. I will then be where I was at 34 yrs old..thinking I was fat! LOL What I would give to be 121 lbs now! It's funny how things become so much clearer when we are older and we actually do have a weight problem. I can remember saying " If I ever weighed 150 lbs I would kill myself. Now 150 lbs sounds pretty good. So..I am on a quest to take care of me and hope in doing so I feel better , look better and can do a better job taking care of the people I love. Including ME!!!
