Hi my name is Tara. I can't even tell you how many diets I have been on or how many times I have yoyo with my weight.I am almost 44 ,5'8'' and 215 lbs.I have been this size for many years .I was told back in October of last year that I have type 2 diabetis and that i will have to take medication for the rest of my life .I already take 2 different types of meds for high blood pressure, and 2 different types of meds for acid reflux disease.I have changed my way of eating ,and what I eat .Its still not enough to get the weight down .,and 75%of my weight is on my belly area .I am so afraid that I will not get to see my son grow up .These health problems run in my family and I have seen what it has done to them.Heart problems ,hospitalization,and death at an age where they should be active and growing old with ease.I don't want to be like that .I want to change this cycle and I know my health problems are due to my excessive weight gain. This book sounds like the ticket for me .I read the story of Doug Varrieur and how he overcame his weight gain and i feel that I have similar issue. I will also tell my friends and certainly my family who are having the same health problems as me and hopefully get them started in the right direction ."I want to be skinny". The two pics im sending are from a couple of years ago but I still pretty much look the same. Thank-you for your time in reading my letter.
