Default New to 3FC, But tired of feeling old!

Hi all.

I turned 35 this summer (had a All-Eighties-themed party. It was gnarly! ), but I have never felt so bad about myself. I got into a funk and couldn't seem to bring myself out, especially after gaining 40 pounds since then. It didn't help that I had gone thru all the tests, preliminary screenings, etc for WLS, but then realized it wasn't something I could really afford, since insurance wouldn't help at all. I reconciled that with the fact that I LOVE food. I want to be able to have those moments of gluttonous ecstasy. Now, I just need those moments to be rare, not every day.

But now that I have found 3FC and all you lovely ladies, I think I am starting a new chapter. And I think I found it just in time. I've been a lurker for about a week, but now I'm ready to be a part of this great community. Plus, I realized I need yall.

I live in Orlando, teach high school English, and have lots o' weight to lose. I live with my fella and my cute mini-dachshund, Kemo Sabe.

Thanks for listening. And here's to my impending happiness!

Hey lvlygrrl, and

You sound like me! I'm really into large portions and good food...and that is NON NEGOTIABLE for me. So I learned how to cook DIFFERENTLY. I still eat big portions, usually, of really tasty food...sometimes downright gluttonous amounts. But I cook in such a way that these meals can be on plan. If you experiment, you'll find ways that work well for you.

I'm glad you're here. Look around, settle in, and keep posting! I can't wait to get to know you better.

By the way, feel free to head on over to the weekly check-in and chat threads in the 30-somethings group, if you like...otherwise, post wherever feels right!
