hi there!!!! I'm new, here's my intro
Hi everyone,
I'm new here.... I've been overweight since the birth of my son 12 years ago... gained 80 lbs due to an undiagnosed medical condition and haven't been able to get the weight off and keep it off since. I had some success with Weight Watchers a few years back, but didn't realize I would have to do dietary and fitness maintenance for the rest of my life and ended up gaining it all back. I've been back and forth and back and forth, trying different things, giving up, crying, trying again, failing, succeeding a bit, gaining it back, you all know the story.
This time I am in it for good. My focus is not about a pants size or a number on the scale. I love myself the way I am, and because I love myself I am going to take care of my health. I'm focusing on adding regular exercise to my life and eating a reasonable amount of healthy food with occaisional treats. I tend to be an emotional overeater and I want to focus on finding healthier ways to deal with my emotions. So - that's me in a nutshell, looking for friends to share this journey with and share encouragement and support.
