I am a 36 year old wife and mother of 6 beautiful children. I have been fighting this weight gain since my last pregnancy with my daughter. I have tried a few diets and to no avail nothing has kept the weight off. I must admit, I love food, all kinds, including dessert. I cook everyday for my family, and I love it, but it hasn't been until recently that I've realized by looking at my 5th son Joshua, that I need to do something quickly. Joshua is 9 years old and has gained over 30 pounds in a year, my husband thinks its cute that there's nothing wrong with being a big boy, but diabetes runs rampant in his family and I just want him to be safe. I'm doing this for myself and for my son, so that he'll see there are healthier and easier ways to eat.
