I've been lurking here for some time, and am finally ready to jump in. I'm 48 years old, about 250#, and in a real mess. Despite meds to help reduce cholesterol and tryglycerides, my levels are "seriously elevated" (the Dr. words). Ok, I haven't been following any type of eating plan which I know I need to; I just don't know where to find that "spark" to get me going. Most of the time I honestly don't care. Except for my Mom and my 3 kitties, there is nothing keeping me here. I'm not afraid of dying, just worried about them. I've spent my entire life doing for others, and, now when I need to "do" for me, I don't know how!!! I am also borderline diabetic, and am taking Prozac for depression and seeing a therapist twice a month. I just can't seem to break through the barrier to care enough about me to care FOR me.
Hugs, support and ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!!
