You've heard the story a million times....I've been overweight since grade 2, now I'm 40 and still can't beat this. I am a mother with 3 kids under 12, and finding time to exercise is VERY hard. I try to make healthy choices, but there are a couple of days a week that I want a couple of drinks, and something sweet. After doing so, I get discouraged and find it hard to re-motivate myself. Everyone around me is thin, so I feel very alone in my battle. If I want this so bad, why hasn't it happened for me after all these years? HEEEEEELP!!!

    Well now you recognize the changes, and you will change when you make up in your mind that you want to change, not before or after. I have discovered after trying EVERYTHING, that there is no miracle pill or diet, it took effort to get it on, and it will take hard effort to get it off. Good luck!
