Trying to stay on track....

Well where to start! I'm a single mom of a 3 year, work full time and am going to school. Life is way busy and fast on track! I guess that's where I got to where I am now! 50 pounds overweight!!!! I had my daughter when I was only 18 and gained about 80 pounds after I had her I dropped 50 quick, and as the years went by I gained and lost, about 5 months ago my father passed away of VERY VERY unexpected heart attack, then not only 2 months after my dad passed his sister did of the same thing! So I went to doctors about 2 weeks ago, not so surprised I stepped on that scale and weighted about as much as I did when I was pregnant!! I can't lie and say I was shocked, but very concerned. I don't want to have my daughter have to lose her mother when she is only 22; I want my dad’s death to help bring something good out in me! I want to start living a good healthy life for him, my daughter and me. So here I am, giving it my all and trying to stay on top!!!

Wow! first, let me say that I am sorry to hear about your dad and your aunt. I can see why you would want to start right away with changing your health so that you can be around for your daughter for a very long time.

It sounds like you are on the right track and ready to make the changes that are needed to reach your goals. This site seems to be a great place to begin.

I wish you well in your quest to reach your goals and hope that you find the support, tools and advice that you need to make it happen!

Good luck to you!
