Hello everyone,

Gosh it's been 7 years since I first joined 3FC. I was just reading some of my old posts and was amazed how focused I was back then. For those who remember me , I was a chronic dieter - tried just about every diet that appealed to me and maintained 121-125 lbs for 15 years. The maintenance focus became an obsession and last year I sought professional help for my developing eating disorder. Thankfully this therapy worked . It's been a year since I actively recorded and measured foods and macros or followed a specific diet. I have however weighed myself a few times recently and pleasingly have only gained a pound (now 126). Sure, I would prefer to be 3 lbs lighter but I'm not prepared to go down that stressful diet path again. I think I've done pretty well for my 68 years so far.

Furthermore I have turned vegetarian (lacto-ovo vegan) which has proved a healthier WOE. Would love to hear from those who remember me or anyone who would like to chat.

Keep well and safe.

Pina Hi and back!

Thanks Dagmar It's nice to be remembered. I checked out the Vegan articles/posts here yesterday and there is a lot of good information available.

I confess that one of my addictions, which I needed to quit early, was posting on all "dieting" forums. I rummaged though my diet forum websites from a year ago and 3FC caught my attention. Although I really don't want to get on the dieting bandwagon again, it's not easy. I can almost smell another weight loss strategy coming on . In some respects, it's a bit like trying to quit smoking (and I won that battle years ago )

Light bulb moment....I should use these last 2 posts to start a blog

Anyway, watch this space. Have a nice day Dagmar and readers

Hello, Pina! I too hope you don't go down the path of unhealthy obsession again. There's really no need for that! Good luck with your new lifestyle--it sounds like it's working fine for you.
