My Journey to Health after age 50

My struggle with my weight and more importantly with lack of self confidence goes back to high school.

I am tall with a larger build than the typical woman. I was always surrounded by short petite women. I didn’t have a weight problem in high school but always felt fat and lacked self confidence.

Into my 20s I truly started gaining weight. I gained 50 pounds with the birth of my first child. Another 50 with my second. I joke today that 27 years later I still have not lost the baby weight.

I decided to blog my journey to have a sounding board for myself. I don’t talk to anyone about my struggles. This gives me an attentive ear that I can open up to completely.

I encourage anyone who wishes to comment on anything I write here. Tough love is also welcome. If I’m using excuses call me out!
