  • I’ve had a weight problem for much of my life since I was about 8 or 9 years old. I was placed on diets repeatedly and I repeatedly failed.

    When I stopped nursing, and when I got to peri-menopause, that’s when I started to put on weight. 

    I’ve tried everything all kinds of diets, gone to all kinds of gyms.
