Tanya Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm a 39 year old woman (mother of 2, stepmother to 1 and grandma to 1 and wife to 1) who has been confident, fit and proud to be the "eye catching wife" all my life. I have never struggled with weight or confidence issues. However, working in an office, commuting (this is a new addition to my life), and becoming an "emotional eater" (specifically if I'm happy, sad, angry, feeling good, feeling bad, celebrating, mourning... I think you get the picture) have all taken their toll on me. And - this toll that they're taking are sitting on top of the soft voice whispering secrets in the back of my brain saying to me: "Hey woman, guess what? You're going to be 40 next year! Bet you can feel THAT creeping up on you!" LOL Add that to the fact that we have (for the first time) just found out that we were successful in our draw for a seasonal campsite up in Northern Saskatchewan for this summer! WHICH is great!! But, I was having issues feeling "ok" in a bathing suit last year already, and it's only gotten worse since then. So - I can't do that again. I HATE the thought of wearing those "old lady" bathing suits just so I can "tuck everything in" where it "should" be. So - I want the bumps that have appeared/grown to disappear... particularly my midsection. With a side dish of "get rid of extra wave happening on the back of my upper arm" too please. LOL I have a challenge/support group at the office I work at, many of which are using those "other" programs/clinics. I have been reading NF for some time now and am ready to take on the challenge the NF way! I believe it's a healthy way to achieve the goals I seek. Hoping to meet some new friends on here for motivation & friendship. Link to comment
