Hello All!
This is my first post in this forum, although I've been lurking for the past few days! My father, a few months ago at 45 found out he has CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) and is now on a transplant list. After looking into it I found that my family has horrible heart disease (all of my grandparents have had heart attacks, both grandfathers died of heart disease, all my aunts and uncles have heart problems too.) So I asked my dad's cardiologist what I could do to give myself the best foot forward on this.
Since I am overweight (238 as of this morning) he suggested this diet to get me back to being a bit healthier, as well as exercise and regular physical evaluations.
So here I am... day one of phase one.
I'm a 22 year old housewife/student going through some rough patches as my husband switched jobs. I live all alone (my husband is a truck driver) so I'm hoping since he's gone I'll be able to control the food in the house, and better control my intake. I am an emotional eater, so I'm hoping to find some support here!
