LYNISHA SMITH from Florida

It took 26 years, but I finally get it. I have been dealing with my weight for quite some time now. It has gotten worst over the past 4 years; my heaviest was 270. I had just given up on "being skinny." I would tell myself God wants me fat because if he did not, I wouldn't be. I just had grown to accept that I was fat, and I acted as if I was ok with it. Deep down inside I was not. Being fat is not happy at all - can't run, can't find anything to wear that hides the rolls...oh I was so not happy. I wanted to lose weight, but just didn't have the willpower "YET" to do it. Women always talk about wanting to lose weight. I overheard a woman talking about a Doctor that helped her, so I decided to go to this Doctor myself and see if I could be helped. Well, he got me motivated for sure, that was 3 months ago. My original plan was to lose weight. So far I have lost 50 lbs.; I still have 63 more to go. I do believe I will not have any problem doing that AT ALL! I am so much happier even by only losing 50 lbs.  I have so much more energy, and I am so fit now I can do more things physically than some people half my size. I now live a healthy lifestyle. This is not just about changing for a little while to lose the weight, I have changed my whole outlook on food and exercise.
