About Lee

My name is Leonore Draper, but everyone calls me Lee. I love food and it has become my addiction. My plan is to change that and improve for the better.

Both my mother and my father had heart attacks in their 40s. Additional, both were diagnosed with diabetes. My father died in 2010 and at the time of his death he was a double amputee, legally blind, and went to dialysis three times a week. This past March my 57-year-old mother had triple bypass surgery on her heart and she will need a couple of more surgeries do to complications with diabetes.

I made the determination that I was not going to allow myself to end up with the same medical complications that my mother and father faced. Now is the time that I start changing my habits, eating right, and working out. I am starting this blog to share my journey, get encouragement from others, and hopefully inspire others to get healthy. I am putting it all out there to the world and my hope is that I will not have a heart attack or die at an early age.
 

So here goes....

Age: 31
Height: 5'9
Weight: (Yes, I am telling you my weight) 258

Goal: To be 199 by August 1, 2014

I need your support, guidance, and love because this will not be an easy journey.
