I have four wonderful kids who are now too old to blame the weight on. I gained weight with every kid and never seemed to lose it. I now am nearing the end of my college experience and will need to be physically fit and need to fit into a uniform. In mid-December I go in for my test and to try to get the job so I need to be well on my way to losing some weight. I have attempted to eat better (my major weakness is an energy drink every morning and potatoes) and I am hoping that some of the depression will melt away with the weight.
