Hi! I am 38 years old and my 40th birthday is October 12, 2013. I am 100 plus pounds overweight. I couldn't run the length/ width of my property and my house sits on a 5th of an acre. I have tried anything and everything to get healthy but never last beyond a month. I have even posted things on Dis but NEVER followed through. I am the leader of the diet quitters & the exercise drop outs. So, why is this time different? I don't know; I just hope I succeed & don't fail miserably. What's driving me? My dad had a stroke at the age of 42, he survived & is 95% recovered but I know a woman's odds of survival or recovery isn't as good as a man's. I have two daughter's ages 10 & 8. They are active but I can see where my oldest is going to repeat my behaviors if I don't get it together. She isn't overweight but her poor eating habits are starting to get worse rather than better and her physical activity isn't as zealous as it once was. My youngest dh has bad eating habits but she still plays with great enthusiasm. Then there is my dh. Great man & we are celebrating our 12th Anniversary today. We have been celebrating with......FOOD and no activity. He agrees we have to do something. He doesn't know I'm writing this but I'm sure he will because he is a Dis junkie! I hope to make myself Dis accountable! I will put on my calendar to do a brief post each day to keep me motivated & accountable. Feel free to join me!
