    --My advice--
    Do what works for you, don’t let negative people/comments/feelings get you down. You are worthy of being cared for, no matter what your size and weight. You are important and valuable. Forgive yourself and move forward. :heart:

    Very proud of you!!! If only people would realize how much better life is when you get it under control - mine has been out of control for so long. I am doing nearly exactly what you are doing and I'm at 45 gone since February, and logging your food is key, I think. And my hair is growing - I think a half-inch in the last two weeks. Ah, the hardship of having to go to the hair stylist more often...not a problem with me!!! I feel 20 years younger. My mood is better, I have energy, and I hate to think how many years have passed with me feeling so awful.

    Keep up the great work - you look wonderful and I bet you feel even better than that!!! You are an inspiration!

    I'm a 52 year old mother of twin boys with autism. (I;m also short, 4feet, 11 inches) when I was first preg with them, my weight was between 10-120. after preg I weighed 160. stressors - relocating to a rural town - hours and hours of driving to therapies, sitting in waiting rooms - cooking for a 6 foot 3 husband who ate VOLUMES as well as two boys who (as most autistic children do) had food issues - my life was bombarded with food - stress - travel - and waiting rooms. I have been over 200 pounds for 6 years. Topping out at 210. i got diag with diabetes type 2, my body ached ached ached all of the time. But now I've turned a page. I'm (as of today) 198.5. I still have a long way to go. But seeing your picture, your story, your my age - IIt is such a push for me! Thank you for sharing! You made my day! (ps - my sugar levels are normal these days!)
