My name is Sandy and I am a stay at home mom to 7 kids ranging from ages 5 to 21. We also have three dogs and two cats and five birds. I have always had a weight problem and been struggling to lose weight. I have tried so many different diets and programs and exercise videos only to lose focus and give up. I am sick of being over weight and obese. I am always tired and just can't focus on where to began. I hate the way I feel and how my body looks.I want my kids to be proud of me and see me as a role model. I want my husband to see me as his sexy wife again. I want to learn to love myself and feel sexy again. So that is why I decided to do something about it. I want to learn how to handle life and stress and still lose weight at the same time. I did make one goal and so far I have kept up to it which was to quit smoking.. It has been three whole months which I haven't smoke at all. I am very proud of myself for that. My second goal is to lose weight and get healthy. My third goal is to reach 140 lbs.
