Hello Friends!

renatonebes

I love the idea of being part of a community and a group of special people working together for a common goal. So happy to be here!

My name is Renato Silveira. I have always been the fat child, and my biggest problem is that I haven't had good self-control and most of the time overeat. I am also am emotional eater and have a stressful job as a nurse, so I have eaten my emotions a lot!

With that said, I have been very conscious of the need to be healthy. I have made some big changes to myself and have made some progress over the last year or so. Having discovered and been diagnosed with depression has helped to understand some of the things I need to do different and I have lost 13lbs in the last several months. My wife had always been very supportive of me and that also has made a great difference to me.

Anyways, I look forward to meeting some good friends here to support me in my journey, and I also look forward to being able to help others also.
