Dear Friends,
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. Since I was young, I’ve been on many diet and exercise programs, but no matter how hard I tried nothing ever worked. I’ve often heard people say that this is because I lack willpower, but this really wasn’t the case. I tried everything I could and would lose weight initially, only to gain it back. At only 22 years old, I needed to lose more than 100 pounds and suffered from high cholesterol and mild asthma, and just wasn’t happy.
