I am doing this for me :)

Hi,
I have always been somewhat overweight, but in the last 10 years I have gained a lot. About a year after my son was born, we found out that he had developmental delays and, since then has developed endocrine disorders, epilepsy etc. I have spent the last 9 years in constant crisis - so I never had the time or energy to take care of myself, though my self esteem shrunk with each added kilo. In the last year my husband and I decided to move to Norway (where I am from) from Canada, and things have improved a lot. My son, though still disabled and more than a full time job, is finally doing well and is not in pain, so I feel like I finally have the physical, mental and emotional reserve to do something to take care of myself. A few weeks ago I noticed that we were "ok" and not waiting for a dozen hospital appointments or stressing out - so I very quickly decided that it is time to make a change. I am very motivated, and I truly believe I can do this. I have 60kgs to lose, but I have complete faith that I CAN do this, and that this is truly a lifestyle change. 2 weeks into this, I am already down 4kgs!!! I am going for walks daily, got a Wii Fit, and I am keeping below my calories. It is a very strange and new feeling to be making an effort for myself. It feels luxurious! It doesn't hurt that I have the worlds most adorable cheerleader, telling me to play the "exercise game" because he loves cheering me on as I step, run or dance
