Here I go again

Long story of how I gained the weight...... Longer story of how I have tried to lose it.
Over the past 12 years (since I had my last child) I bloomed to a size 26 and weighed nearly 300 lbs.
I have managed to (over time) lose some... im currently in a size 20 and weigh 230lbs.
im all over fat, but it is mostly in my face/neck, stomach and butt.

I have a hard time sticking with it, even if it is working.
I have a nutrition plan that has proven itself to me, so I will use that.........its the not cheating, and the sticking with it that I struggle with.

With my recent (1 year now) diagnosis of breast cancer, surgery, radiation and recovery, my health is not back seat anymore.
I also have my 30 year high school reunion next year. Where I was not fat in highschool, I just cant show up being fat now. Not that anyone would care..........except me!

I welcome applause on my successes and encouragement on my weaknesses.
