Welcome/Introduce

catylina71

Hello everyone...Welcome to the group. I want to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. My name is Carol and I am from Central New York. I am 42 years old, mother of 2 and a wife. I have been on a slow progression of becoming overweight for all of my adult life. It has now come to the point where enough is enough. This is NOT healthy. I am not only overweight, but i have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis in both knees, high intercranial pressure, underactive thyroid, sciatica nerve pain in one leg, i am on eight medications a day and some of them are more than once a day. I AM WAY TOO YOUNG FOR ALL OF THIS CRAP!!! When I go to the dr's the main thing they say is, "we need to work on getting your weight down". I hope that is the magic answer. Because that is what I am trying to do. To see if that TRULY will help any of the things I have going on health wise. I am not making this lifestyle change only to lose weight though. I plan on continueing it through my life. I am constantly telling my children that they cannot have this or that because it is not healthy. Well that is a bit hipocritical of me. Why am I not allowing them to get unhealthy, yet I am allowing myself to be? My children are young as we have adopted them so late in our lives. I WANT TO SEE THEM GROW AND HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILIES. That is what THIS is all about. Please take the time to introduce yourself. Share your stories. Share your recipes and just be here to support one another through all the good times and the bad. Do not forget to laugh and have fun.
