Hello Everyone! Ready to engage now.

Hello Peeps,

I have been lurking for a couple of days on the boards which I just found existed. I have been using MFP for about 7 weeks and started eating in a non suicidal way and seeing the inside of a gym in mid Feb. The funny part is I had a stroke back in the fall of 2008 and still did not wise up. Yeah, I am a single dad who is solely responsible for a ten year old boy and after having a stroke I just kept on doing the same thing. It's interesting (and sad) that an offhanded insult from a coworker is what got me inspired to do something.

One thing I have always had is a ton of excuses for why I could not do it. I work too much, I travel too much, I have to entertain clients, I have to get my kid to school, etc. Anyway, that is about it. I am making some progress and have been dragging my butt to the gym at 5AM in the morning and eating much better. I have not even had a Reese's Peanut Butter cup since Feb. 15th. That is tough considering I ate 30+ in one binge once.

Anyway, I appreciate the community and look forward to getting involved more.

Welcome! It's never to late to start doing what's right.

Good luck to you man. Stroke runs in my family. Unfortunately, I've noticed I'm about a thousand mg over on sodium pretty much everyday, and that's trying to eat better!!!!
