Hello everyone!

I decided I needed to join the blogger world...I have gained alot of support from reading others! I am starting my second semester of college at 35 years old. I was employed by an electric company for 13 years but was replaced by a computer and a kid that will work for 10 bucks an hour(or less). I have been on and off Nutrisystem since the beginning of May. When I stick to the program it works wonders but when I try to go off on my own I only manage to maintain within a few pounds. So today is the day I start again. I can't be going to school with these kids and looking and feeling the way I do about myself. Its bad enough that most of these kids were born the year I graduated high school...I once looked like them too. Its a real eye opener to think it only took me 17 years to do this to my body!!! I sure hope it isn't that slow in coming back off. I love life and spending time playing with my daughter but if I keep this up there is no way I will be able to keep up with her for very long!!
