I am 29 years old and I live in Mississippi. I can never remember a time that I looked in the mirror and liked what I saw. I have struggled with food my entire life and never been very active. Both habits I think I learned from my mother... who happened to pass away of a heart attck at 50... So if I am still living iwth her habits I am destined to repeat her short life. But I have decided that will not be my fate! I have a wonderful boyfriend, a wonderful family, a rewarding job and I am about to be 30! So it is time to start the next decade of my life with a new body! My most beloved Aunt recommended this website for me and if anyone knows about staying thin and healthy it is her so I hope I learn alot here and finally for the first time in my life.. REACH MY GOAL! :)
