Introduction Text I'm a 42 year old happily married mother of 3. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse working in a long term care facility. I have been a member of SparkPeople for a long time now, coming and going (mostly going). I've tried Weight Watchers and the Atkins diet but never stuck with anything for long. So no more excuses. I'm ready to commit to long haul, realize it's going to take a long time, and I'm going to make mistakes. But that's ok. Time to let my spark shine!

*Lower my triglycerides and my blood pressure so that I need little or no medication. *Have more energy. *Lose weight until I feel comfortable in my skin.

*Eating less junk food. *Exercise as least 30 minutes, 5 days a week. * Drink at least 8 cups of water a day.

I am an emotional eater and that is one of my greatest challenges...learning to deal with stress, happiness, sadness, and anger in a manner that doesn't include eating.
