Introduction Text I have been struggling with my weight ever since the birth of my first child over 22 years ago. Before that I ate all the wrong foods in great quantity and never consciously exercised, but my youthful metabolism kept my weight in check. My postpartum metabolism could not cope with my bad habits and I have been paying the price ever since. A diagnosis of pre-diabetes scared me into getting serious. Time to lose the weight and get fit!! I was almost at my goal weight in the summer of 2010, but have gradually slipped back into my old habits and regained 34 pounds since then. Not proud of that, but I'm going to keep trying! And yes, to those who've asked, my lettuce background is a portion of our farm - we grow organic vegetables for the local stores.

I would like to eat for nourishment, not psychological satisfaction. I would like to look forward to daily exercise

I am a married woman in her early 50's with a wonderful, supportive husband who tells me I'm beautiful no matter what my weight. I have 3 boys, ages 16 to 22. We live on a farm in the Adirondack Mountains (upstate NY). I work part-time coordinating an organization that promotes local food.

I love reading, knitting, quilting, gardening, renovating our old farmhouse and finding time to be alone.
