I'm fat and want to lose weight. OK. A little more. 55 yrs old. 2 beautiful sons: 18-senior in high school getting ready for college, 22- junior in college. I cook for them and my 92 year old father with whom we live. 2 puppy dogs that have destroyed our backyard. Own my own struggling business. Going through crises of faith and meaning. Well, it's not really a crisis. I've changed my mind, and now I'm trying to figure out what life means and what it should consist of under my new set of beliefs. I'm sedentary at work and at home..mostly. I have a damaged big toe on one foot that limits how much I can walk. I hope it improves with weight loss. I've started weight lifting a little and stretching every other day. My body is friggin falling apart before my eyes as I age. Aging sucks.
