Dear folks,
Please let me introduce myself. I live in Berkeley, California, and for most of my life I've been overweight. My highest weight was 228 lbs. I lost 40 lbs about 5 years ago, but it's sneaking around and when I'm not looking, it's hopping back on me. I'm currently at 197 lbs. I started my weight management plan after returning from vacation last Thursday...a combination of liquid shakes and small dinner meals. So far, I've not been too hungry and this is a blessing. I'm also reading more than I ever have about what motivates one to overeat. Right now, I'm reading "Mindless Eating" and it's a great education. I have also started walking at lunch times and walk each day for an hour.
I love quilting, my dogs, travel, gardening, collecting, and reading.
I'm so pleased to meet all of you and to have found this site.
take care,
Peep Smith (Jean)
