    I was sicking of being in pain. I have always had back problems but with this extra weight made my back spasm much worse and occur more often. I have not have had any back issues since I lost the original 7lbs. I have only been doing my fitness pal for a little over 4 weeks and have already lost over 13 pounds( maybe more my weigh in with my Trainer is tomorrow). My youngest is almost nine and It is about time I took off the baby weight. I am focussed and I know by my 45th Birthday I wll hit my goal of 40lbs of weight loss.

    I was always on the 'tomorrow train' - start exercising tomorrow, eat less tomorrow, go to the gym tomorrow. Then I had a severe gout attack that left me crippled for a week and the tests told the worst, yes gout, yes v.high BP, borderline diabetic, all this combined with a family history of heart troubles was a slap in the face.

    I joined a gym, got a trainer as I need the pushing and then found MFP a month later.
    This journey isn't easy, it isn't fun, it isn't without pain and doubt.
    It IS satisfying, it IS wanted, it IS bloody hard work.
    It IS only starting.

    When you are on your way to surgery after a car accident and are told that you might never walk again, you start to think about all of the things you should change. Wake up from surgery and find out two days later that you can walk, but oh, sorry you have cancer! A two year battle through surgery, chemo and radiation and I now find myself with fighting strength and I will win the weight battle too!

    Realising that, unless I change things permanently, I am never going to be anything other than somebody's drunken mistake.

    This breaks my heart. I want you to know that feeling isn't about your size, it's about your self worth. So please as you change your life, be proud of who you are and love yourself. *hugs*
