in Introduce Yourself
In 2006 with a BMI over 50 I took the plunge and had WLS. I was a slow loser but eventually surpassed my weight goal and achieved normal body weight. I kept it off completely for 3 years. But the last two years have been very challenging. My dad died in 2009 and my mother in 2010. I have always been a stress eater and returned to the very eating habits that I promised myself I would never return to again. I stopped exercising regularly and turned to comfort foods. Five pounds turned into ten pounds and ten pounds turned into twenty. When I realized that twenty pounds was approaching thirty I knew I had to make some changes.

I have researched and researched food and fitness sites so assist me in my goals. I decided that this one is the best way to meet my needs. I am on a voyage of discovery and looking forward to sharing this journey with all of us.
