in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I am in not new to myfitnesspal but just got back to doing this and am in need of support that will cheer me on. I have two wonderful boys and a wonderful husband that count on me and I need to do this for not only myself but for them too. I was recently diagnosed with Essential Thromboycythemia which is basically that my platelets are too high and I am hoping that with eating healthy and losing weight it can help lower it and keep from being in soo much pain.

    Hey! As a mom sometimes it is hard to remember that it's not selfish to put your health first. You can not be the best you can be and take care of others if you are not at your best. I'm here when ever you need me. I'm very logical and can always give you an alternative view from the outside of the situation that may help.

    I am right there with you! I really want to do this for health as well....and my daughter (who is young)..... I am an "older" married mom so I want to be around and be healthy for years to come. MFP is such a great motivator and friends are key. We ALL have those days (or sometimes a week or two) where it is such a struggle to stay focused on "ME" when so many other things demand attention. Please feel free to add me if you like, I do log on here every day and would be glad to help you out in any way at all. You can do this, you've already made amazing progress!!
