Hi Everyone~

My name in Jen, I am a labor and delivery nurse and I live in New Mexico. My friend Jen sent me over **Hi Jen**

My weight issues started in my early twenties. I was in an unhappy marriage so food became my friend. Since then food had become my drug of choice. I have since married the man of my dreams and have two beautiful girls. My life is very happy, but my relationship with food has become the unwanted guest that refuses to leave.

I celebrate with food, I plan my day around my next meal. Some days I eat until I am stuffed, just because I think I can. I have great excuses that I tell myself why it's OK, even though I know what I am doing. My self esteem is down in the potty. Every part of my life has been effected by this. I am done!

I made the choice two weeks ago to start WW's. Being 246 lbs is no longer an option for me. I hurt, every part of my body hurts after a day at work. When I get up in the morning, I move like a 70 year old woman. I am 40 years old and not ready to give up. Being fat is no longer an option. I even started seeing a therapist to try to uncover why I treat food the way that I do. I know this is not going to be easy, but I am ready for the fight!!

Thanks for listening, and I look forward to getting to know you guys

Welcome aboard - this is a good place to talk to other people with the same issues - often helps you define some of your own.

My parents live in Alto NM, so I make it out your way pretty often.
