I am 51 and a mother of three mostly grown children, 26, 23 and 15 and grandmother of one. I have struggled all my life with my weight and have some tough moral issues regarding it. I tend to be ashamed of myself if I eat food that isn't healthy and beat myself up about it and then spiral into a self negativity mood for days. I would like to be able to lose some weight and not be so tough on myself all the time as it hasn't been working for me. I also have a sedentary job and need to exercise consistently rather than going through rigid and frenzied workout for weeks, burn out and do nothing for months. I am hoping that being open about all this with others in similar situations will give me the support I need to be successful at losing weight and becoming more fit. I know I can do it, I just need some encouragement.
