20 by 40

vbcoloma

hi everyone:-)
I am a prolific dieter. That seems like an oxymoron, because if I was any good at it, I wouldnt need to diet!

The reason I'm here is to try and find support in regards to FINALLY freeing myself from my fat suit--and my fat thinking head.

A little background-I'm 5'11 and my highest weight in high school was 260....I lost 102 pounds, got married, had three kids in 4 years. Fast forward to the youngest now being 8. I can longer use the baby weight excuse.

I currently hover between 175-180. Thats at the very high end of the acceptable range for BMI.

the 20 by 40 subject means that its my goal to lose 20 pounds by my 40th birthday. that gives me three months. I just feel soft and squishy. I just want to be healthy. I just want to live a long life. I just want to eat to live, not live to eat.

So here's hoping that I can make me a priority for once in my life. That I consider myself worthy of being able to join in rather than spend one more minute on the sidelines.

I deserve it.
