Hello, I am new to myfitnesspal, but not new to dieting. Been doing it all my life. I am the typical lost it, found it, lost it, found it and more kinda girl. Have a ton a weight to loose again. I had always been athletic up until 2008 when I got really sick, but I had always been a big girl. Problem is I have become too big. I am an emotional eater and I have been on an emotional rollercoaster. I am a cancer patient. Doctors have never discussed diet and nutrion as related to cancer with me. I knew what the deal was, but again, I am an emotional eater. I don't want to loose weight because of my cancer, but just because I'm sick and tired of being fat. However, the fact that fat produces estrogen and estrogen feeds my tumors means less food for the little, well some are not so little, suckers. If you saw my outers, you would fat. If you saw my innerards, you would probably say what the last docter said, "Oh my". I had ER surger last October and had several complications following it. Part due to my weight, part due to my chemo treatment I had been on. Long story short, there is no chemo that works with my cancer, so I have to step up and be as healthy as I can if I plan to remain breathing. With that said, I was diagnoed 13 year ago. However, as I noted before I am an emotional eater. I spent more time making other be ok with my cancer than taking care of myself and with each reoccurance I gain weight. I am running out of time to make a change, so here I am, making a change. I want to be around for my brother wedding next year and I don't want to go this fat! :noway:
