I just " found " this group yesterday. So happy I did. My name is Audrey. I am 47 ,mother of 3 with a great husband. I have roller coasted with my weight all of my adult life. Turning to chips and pizza at every bump in the road.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer In Feb. I can now say it was a gift. Terrified I read everything I could about cancer. I saw the relationship between poor diet and cancer. I switched to a plant based diet and gave up animal products. I. Stumbled across eat to live book and what a perfect fit. It was like all the puzzle pieces I had found just came together. I have lost 30 lbs by changing my diet. I have had 3 major surgery's so I was not walking. I have now begun to walk daily and am up to 61/2 miles. I am amazed how much energy I have.j

Hello! You are so fortunate to have found ETL! Only good things can come from it. Sometimes we don't know how precious life is until we have the rug pulled out from under us. Each of us is a ticking time bomb. Some of us are lucky enough to get a wake up call while the others looking on consider themselves "lucky". They are not as likely to be as driven as those of us who have a known enemy to fight.

I just answered your friend request so I look forward to getting to know you. I am very happy to be a part of this group, too! A year ago I couldn't find anyone! Now we have lots of friends to bounce ideas off of who "get" it. = D
