I too have gained weight with each year. I have been unhappy with my weight {and myself} for the past 3 years. It seems with each year, I gain just a little more,and each year, I try to lose, but only manage to lose 7 lbs, then I seem to give up. I find myself in that same place once again and once again, I am trying. I have had a setback this week,but am back at it once again. It is such a struggle,but if others can do it, I can too. I am tired of allowing my weight to control my life. I have even changed my social patterns and that in itself, should remind me to work harder at getting this unneeded and unwanted weight off. I wish you good luck with your weight loss also.
