I'm Here--let the good times roll!!
Hey, Y'all!
I've been lurking around here for a couple of days and really like what I see, so count me in.
Here's the first installment in "Welcome to Beckie's World", the continuing (hopefully) saga of the old woman without a clue.
I'm older than dirt, with one girl-child (35) and still working on house breaking my first husband.
I work as a "Technical Clerk" (read "general dogsbody, doer of all things mundane and time consuming")
A while back, I decided to quit smoking. Although I'm not much of a joiner, I did find a website (Quitnet.com) that provided me an outlet and support that made all the difference.
5 1/2 years later, I'm still smokefree, but have gained over 70 lbs and now weigh over 300 lbs and have had no success losing or keeping it off. The doc threw a fit when my bp and blood sugar got high, so I've tackled them with diet and exercise which brought them both back under control, but hasn't done squat for the weight. Walking is getting wayyyyyy too hard and my knees and back are talking about forming a union and going on strike.
So, since I had such success with smoking help, I'm going to try to use this site the same way. So, how about it--can I play too?
Join us next week for the next installment of "Welcome to Beckie's World", when I try to find out if there's life after Snickers Pie and if I'm still addicted to run-on sentences.
