| Introduction | I have been on and off diets of some form or another since I was a baby (yes, the Dr had my mother put me on a diet of carrot juice when I was a baby...probably why I can't stand the stuff now!). Now, there is enough of me to make TWO of me! I am starting this blog at 260# (ht 5'4"). There are lots of reasons I got here and will address those in my first few posts. I started this *anonymous* blog so I could talk about food and weight issues without all the SHAME that comes with that. So, now that I am 46, a mom of 5 and grandmother of 1 (whom I am raising as well), I have totally (and I mean totally!) let myself go in every sense of the word. It is time to get myself back....but I only want half of me! I weigh double what I should. I don't know if I can ever get down to half of me (130#) but I would like to do so before I turn 48. In June of 2010, I was diagnosed with PreDiabetes, so my blog has taken on a different tone and my diet has changed a lot. I am low-carb now and "eat to my meter." Not the traditional way to lose weight (is there a traditional way?) but it is working for me. |
