Default Tired of wasting time...Need some help

Hello,
I have been tossing around which diet to do or not do. I have re-started my exercise routine for the umpteenth time! I keep coming back to a low carb way of life....I guess because it is the 1 thing that has ever worked for me.
I have alot of history with my weight, as I am sure we all do. I was in a very mentally abusive marriage, all centered around me looking like a 10 at all times....not to gain a pound, cut my hair, etc....If I did my life was hell. My ex would tie food on a string and dangle it over my face when I would work out....(I weighed 128 at my heaviest back then) he would hide food that I was "not supposed" to eat....When I was pregnant he never kissed or "loved" me because he said I was "fat" and he was not attracted to me....So you get a little bit of the idea....
Now...(almost 8 years post-divorce) I have the most wonderful man in my life (engaged Nov 2008) that I have been with for almost 6 years....he does not care about my size! But I do! I am 185 and only 5'4" and just over it! I will exercise my butt off, I will live the low carb lifestyle, I am just looking for someone to share this journey with so we can encourage each other....
I am a full time student (Nursing) but I CAN make the time I have NO excuses that are bigger than my desire to be healthy and happy and to be a great example to my son.
If you are interested in a friend to share this journey with, please contact me! I love and live life to the fullest but I know that with 55 pounds off, I will feel like a whole new person! I WANT that feeling!
xoxo
Dana
