Complete overhaul....

janmoulder2

Hi, I've been here on MFP off and on over the years. I've lost a lot of weight and gained even more several times. Isn't that what they call yo-yo dieting? Well, it has become clear to me lately that I don't just need a diet, I need a complete life overhaul. I'm depressed, angry and fat. I sit most days just playing games and cruising the internet and then get disgusted with myself for what a lazy loafer I am, so I eat to soothe my angry beast. I have had enough of this and am ready to rewrite my story.

I never have been very good at creating structure for myself or making a plan, so that is the first thing I've done. I have three books I'm using to guide my re-creation. You can read more on my MFP blog. I've asked my sister to be my coach/accountant (someone to whom I am accountable.) I've created a daily schedule that I think is structured but loose enough for some flexibility. It includes time for meditation, exercise and mental stimulation. I am very hopeful now. I feel like I finally have a grown up in charge and my vision for my future is one of health and wellness instead of dementia and diapers.

I'm 63 years old, 5'3" tall and nearly 220#. My husband and I live in our RV and work in campgrounds as hosts. Right now we are in Washington State.

I'm open to having some like-minded friends on MFP. Are you, too, doing a complete overhaul? Not in this just to lose weight but to create a life worth living? Do you want to be friends?
