Welcome,
GraceeA!
There are many supportive people on this thread who can help you as you embark on your journey - I know that you must be challenged by your situation, but there are always options, such as the Bright Line diet that
grannynancy suggests. I myself am a calorie counter, which is working for me now and has worked in the past.
I'm sure with some research on the 3FC forums you'll find something that works for you over time.
