If you are still looking for a buddy, let me know.
I have lost more than 80 pounds so far and still have 20 or so I would like to go. I know how tough it is. It is such a major life change! I had to literally overhaul my entire life! It has impacted my kids, my mother (who lives with us) and my husband. Now, when my mother goes to stay with my brother she tells me she is looking forward to getting back to the way I cook. They all (even the kids) appreciate the healthy way I cook and shop.
But, when you are accustomed to a less healthy lifestyle (I grew up on south Louisiana - land of the deep-fried) your entire life, it is tough to change that.
If you ever need to talk or just need to vent, or whatever, I am here.
