in Introduce Yourself
Hello, hello, my name is Erica. Nice to meet you all. I am trying to change my eating lifestyle and turn to a more nutritious diet. I am at a very high risk for diabetes and heart problems, I have IBS and aching joints (yay for young arthritis)... so anyway, I'm trying to go gluten-free (as I hear that can help with IBS and lowering inflammatory issues) and then lower sugar, or at the very least, healthier sugar... so honey, fruit, etc. I downloaded this app to help me keep track of what I'm eating each day and so far I really love to play with it. I find it cool to scan everything I eat :) Yeah, I'm a nerd.

My husband and I are also trying to have a baby, so, since I'm old (yeah, 35 to baby doctors is way past prime) and overweight (I like fluffy) we will have a hard time with that... so we'll see how it goes. I do already have two children from a previous marriage.

It's nice to meet you all and I wish you the very best of luck!

Cheers

    Wow, thanks for all the fast hellos there. Here I was sitting at the computer thinking of what to keep myself occupied and *poof* the internet fairies have delivered. I'll go through and add those of you who have invited me to do so. I made my diary public... I think.
