recently cured of Hepatitis C - feel better than I ever have

63Bertha · April 2012

I took the six-month cure for Hepatitis C, and it worked. There is no virus. As a result -- and this is really hard to believe -- I feel better than I ever remember feeling in my life. I have energy for the first time seemingly forever.

And so I begin what must be my hundredth attempt at serious weight loss. My immediate goal is to lose 25 pounds -- currently 275 -- so I can ride a Segway on my 50th birthday in February. I've ridden one before and it is the second most fun I have ever had in my life.

My eating is out of control right now. I make bad choices and keep eating after I know I'm full. But I'm aware of what I'm doing, and last week started keeping a diary. Just recording what I eat helps.

Tonight, after work, I'm going to the gym. I plan just to ride the bike; very low impact

I hope to find some support here, and eventually, as I see success in myself, to give support to others.
