I'm not exactly a newbie. I've been a member for over 5 years but haven't been active each time I've come back. Maybe that's why I'm having so much trouble? Anyway, I weigh more now than I ever had in my life and so does my husband. Both of us are seeing a doctor for weight loss surgery but I know it's not going to work as long as I don't change my thinkinig and feeling about food. I'm in the process of looking for a food therapist but also feel I need support from other people aas well. So here I am...again...but this time I intend to take part more actively and be committed to this and not just pay a lot of lip service or feel sorry for myself. And now I'm off to meet other people on this board--I didn't do that any other time I joined. I just jumped into other forums without really knowing a soul. Looking forward to meeting you,

Cassie
