I am a 45 year old woman who overcame my addictions to smoking and alcohol. They didn't seem to be a challenge for me.

I just can't seem to shake the weight gain.

Anyhow, I am married to a wonderful man and I don't have children - just a jack russel terrier and a yorkie mix - that we call "the boys".

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and learning ways that I can loose weight and become a healthier person.

somehow, it's easier to kick addictions that we don't need to survive, like smoking and alcohol. But eating? different story! I'm pretty sure we have an overeaters' anonymous forum around here... will have to check.

glad you found us
