What can I say. I'm a 54 year old woman who got too comfortable eating anything and everything in sight. I went from a size 4 to an 8, to a 10 and so on and so on until a size 14 started to feel tight. I knew I was overweight because breathing was getting difficult. It really hit me when I spent a few days with my daughter in San Diego and we had our picture taken together. I was horrified!!!!!! I looked liked the Pillsbury Dough Boy's mother!! That was a big wake up call for me. I plan to spend a week with her in October and I WILL be 50 pounds lighter.
