Hey everyone. I have been here before, but when things got tough in my life, instead of turning to my friends, I turned to food.I've been off and on the wagon for so long now I dont remember what it is like to live without worrying about my weight. Thats all I want, is to just be normal. To be able to look in the mirror again and love the person I see staring back, regardless of her size. I know you all are great supporters here, so I hop you dont mind another popping in.

Hi Aradia, As Ellis says, Get your hiney in here Aradia! We love having new people to talk to! What are your goals for this year?Jump right in and start posting; I look forward to talking with you.(I resisted eating cookies this morning so I am feeling pretty smug)

WELCOME ARADIA!!! The more the merrier!!!

Welcome aboard! I think most of us have turned to food in hard times. Its such a comforting, but damaging way. I understand! Come in anytime, the more I am active on the board, the better I do.

Welcome Aradia- glad to have you join us

Welcome, Aradia. We've all done the food instead of friends routine. This is better!

Welcome, Aradia! You'll love it here!

Hi Aradia

I do a lot of lurking in the shadows here, but these are fantastic women! You'll love this place.
