wanted to introduce myself

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am Joyce and new to the group. I am an almost 36 mom of 4. I live in South

Carolina. This is my second time at battling the bulge. At one point I weighed

236 and just got tired of it so I got fit and became a personal trainer. Then 2

years ago my husband and I decided to move to South carolina to give our

children a better life. Little did I know that moving 750 miles from everything

and everyone would cause such a depression. So I ate and ate some more. Now I am

tipping the scales at 201. Last Monday My husband walked into tthe Y and I said

enough is enough. I am tired of being tired and achy. So here I am doing this

again....Joyce

Hi Joyce,

I'm fairly new here too It's funny how it all just sneeks up on us LOL.

I want to join the Y! I would LOVE to be swimming regularly.

Where did you move from? My cousin lives in South Carolina - also to have

a better life. She says it's some of the most beautiful country she's ever

seen.

Hi Deanna,

I am originally from Philadelphia but my husband and I lived in NJ. We

honestly just got tirred of the HIGH taxes and crime..lol..Although I do know

crime is everywhere. I just enjoy paying $500 a year for property taxes compared

to the $12,000 I paid in NJ..lol..Unfurtunatly the Y we go to does not have a

pool We do have a lake which my kids take full advantage of while my husband

and I work out. They swim or fish. We do have a pool at our hom though and I

begged my husband to get it and used it for like a week now noone swims in

it..lol...Joyce

First, I want to welcome you, I to am a brand new member of this group. I wish

you and your husband all the best in the future,both in the area of health and

in pursuit of happiness and a better life.

I want to honor both of you for the courage it must take to pick up ones

entire family and household and move to a place unknown. That is the feeling

that came up for me when reading your post. I admire that courage and your

candor and the obvious care you have for your family.One message comes through

to me from the Inside Out podcasts is the need to take care of ourselves in

order to be able to care for those we love.It sounds like you both realize that.

Best wishes!
