My jeans are fitting tight around my belly

I need to lose weight because my jeans are getting tight around my belly! If I don't do anything about it now, I may continue to gain weight and it will be more difficult to lose the weight. I have found in past experiences that if I put off losing just a few pounds it becomes more of an issue later on.

I have children and I do not want them to be embarrassed by my appearance. I also want my husband to be proud of the way I look. Summer is also just around the corner, and I would like to lose weight so I will look better in skimpy summer clothing. Also to look better in my swimsuit! It’s very easy to hide any extra weight under sweaters and bulky clothes during the winter months.

I also want to make sure that I do not end up with any type of heath issues by having extra weight. I know many people develop diabetes due to weight gain. Also some people have heart issues and high cholesterol and end up taking all kinds of medicine and lead less productive lives. I want to stay healthy and have a nice appearance.
