klujan’s Diet Profile

About Me:

I have been trying to diet and it is so hard, every time I say ok no chocolate or high fat junk foods.....I crave so bad...my ideal weight lose is at least 90lbs. I am almost 230 and I can't even look at myself in the mirror anymore, and won't let my husband see me. It is hard to see yourself in pictures when you see yourself so big. I pray I will find help to break free of my emotional roller coaster ride that I am on right now.

The goals I'm working toward:

• Lose at least 90lbs
• Maintain a healthy weight and life
• Get back into shape, to feel good
• Run a marathon would be a dream
• Be able to look in the mirror and like myself.
• To live a long life with my husband and kids.

I haven't felt comfortable with my weight since:

I have gained a lot of weight since my child bearing years and in the last 4 years I have gained about 60lbs

My favorite healthy food:

Vegetables, whole grain pasta, fruits, yogurts(some types). Whole wheat breads.

My guiltiest pleasure:

junk food....chocolate especially.

I'm inspired to live a healthy life because:

I want to grow old with my husband and see my kids, grand kids grow up.
My mother just had a heart attack Dec. 4/2008 and I am so afraid of what is in store for me. I have heart disease, cancer, diabetes and kidney disease, high blood pressure in my family medical history. I have it all...not a good outcome to look forward to.

Healthy habits that work for me:

• drinking water instead of soda.
• Will do workouts if I have a partner, need motivation.

My favorite activity at the gym is:

Cardio, jogging, weight resistance, swimming, bike, kick boxing workout.

The accomplishments I'm most proud of:

• My children and grand children.
• Being married to a man I adore.
• Earning an associates degree.
• Surviving a few big health problems, cancer and panic disorder which consummed my life for 5 long years.
• Try to be the best friend I can be.
