And thought its about time to introduce myself.
I'm 46 yr old full time carer for my mum, and live in the UK.
I joined MFP in January after my daughter encouraged me, and been loging in everyday and lurking about the forums, but been to afraid to comment.
I have arthritis and over the last few years just let things slide, convincing myself that even though i had gained a "little weight" it wasn't that much and all was well. I even stopped going out as much with a load of excuses, weather was to bad (easy to do in England), wasn't feeling well, something might arrive in the post, and even i needed to hover and would go tomorrow.
The final straw for me was going to my local town and catching sight of myself in a window, was totally shocked out of the view it was only a little weight. It still took me a couple of weeks to get the courage up to get on the scales and realise the extent of that extra weight, and decide i need to do something.
So now after lurking about for a while I feel its time to get some friends on here :bigsmile:
