I'm here because I'm about to turn 40 and my life these past few years have taken my focus on me.
I began working out in high school and have been in terrific shape. Fitness was such a great and satisfying part of my identity. I can easily remember feeling like a million bucks because I was so addicted to working out for myself. It felt great to dedicate that time just to me, not to my career, my family; nothing else made me feel that way. I used to ask my friends to touch me anywhere and it would be solid. They would tell me how jealous they were of my shape. That wasn't the gratification for me it was the way I felt when I took care of myself. I desperately want that back.
My mother became ill three years ago and I've been dedicated to taking care of her. I'm now experiencing some ya-ha moments recognizing how far I'm away from where I need to be in taking care of myself. I need to be happy, take care of my body and mind. It's time to put myself a priority.
I'm so excited to be here and meet other people getting control over their own lives.
