My name is Peggy. I'm in my early 60's, a little over 5 feet tall and weight 222. I Have Type II diabetes and take shots 4 times a day...add to that Sleep Apnea and a few other minor health issues. I met my husband 8 1/2 years ago and have gained 60# since then. He does most of the cooking and is a retired chef...need I say more? I don't mean to blame him for my weight gain because I am the one who eats what he cooks so it DOES fall back to me for the weight gain.
For a while, I had severe hip and knee pain so walking was out of the question along with pretty much all exercise. The pain seems to have gone away so now I'm ready to start taking control of my weight again. If it means hurting my husbands feelings by not eating what he cooks, I'll just have to do that. I'd rather do that than watch my health deteriorate as it has been. (Sorry, honey)
I have made a firm decision to do what ever it takes to lose the weight. My long term goal is to get down to at least 140# but at this point even a few pounds will be a triumph for me.
I hope that I can find the help and support from all of you to attain my goal. Thank you for reading this and allowing me to share my story. Take care everyone and to all...My prayers and good wishes are coming your way!!!
