Myishaboo

I am a youngish grandmother of 3 and a mother of 3. I have gained so much weight over the past 5 years and my body is suffering. I am in poor health, I get tired easily, and I am not okay with myself right now. I don't recognize my face and I am sad about it. People tell me that I am beautiful and perfect just the way I am, but my knees and back tell me I need to make some changes.

I am not a shallow person, but I do want to feel and look good. I am ready for some changes and this is the biggest change for me. I hope I can stick with it. I am going to give it my all and look for support in any way that I can get it. I can't post pictures right now because I am embarrassed today. I look forward to posting in 3 weeks because I know that if I persevere and stay strong those embarrassing pictures will be an inspiration to myself and other people who are in this same boat.
