I'm 43 years old and I have put on a ton of weight in the past 13 years. I was 115 # when I got married. I had my first child at 27 and my postpartum weight was 132#, I went to Jenny Craig and quickly went to my prepregnancy weight of 115. I can't believe that I have allowed myself to get like this. After 2 more children( the youngest is 7) I weigh more than when I was 9 months pregnant. I didn't even go to my class reunion this year because I am too embarrassed to let anyone see me like this. Gourmet food paired with a great wine has become such a focus; I have decided that I need to do something, I can't stand how I look and feel. I have tried Southbeach and Atkins but I'm tired of feeling guilty everytime I had something I wasn't supposed to have.
NEW ENTRY
As of April 27, I switched to the Fat loss 4 idiots. It is an 11 day menu, you eat 4 times per day, walk 30 min 2 x per day. You follow what they tell you to eat, you eat until satisfied but not full. After 11 days you eat what you want for 3 days and then generate a new 11 day menu. I'm not good at watching my food intake so I think this should work the best. I'm very excited about this new diet.
