I am happy to have found this website. I have been looking around and have seen lots of good things on it. A little about me and my weight: I have been up and down all my life. Nothing really drastic (except with my first child when I gained so much weight my doctor got mad at me!) Anyway, I look at my life in chunks. I graduated high school at about 129 pounds and at my 10 year reunion, I was 145. At my 20 year reunion two summers ago, I was 145. This morning I was 144. So, my natural weight should probably be about 140-150.
I am married and have two great kids. My mom died five years ago. That was tough but I still had dad. Then he died in December 2006, so about 15 months ago. My being an emotional eater allowed me to gain weight by not watching what I was doing. I went to 164 and just got furious with myself. I knew that was ridiculous and I got "on the ball" and started to get rid of it.
That's about it in a nutshell. I hope we all have something to learn from each other. In my life I have learned that no one person has all the right answers!
Thanks for "listening!"
