    Welcome. It is wonderful that you want to create a healthier you! Please don't worry about not being able to eat the diet foods out there. There's no need anyway. Besides, if you eat diet foods when dieting, what will you do when you are done dieting. My best offering is that you learn about your body and strive for a healthy, vibrant you. I needed to relearn everything when I was diagnosed as celiac. Perimeter shopping is my best friend and I have never eaten such yummy amazing food. I can't believe what I was missing out on before. The wonderful thing is that while discovering a healthier lifestyle, the by-product was weight loss. I no longer diet, I learn and evolve my lifestyle. As I age, my needs will change. If I only look at the scale, I won't know how to deal with those changes. I am so grateful I changed my perspective.

    Feel free to add me as a friend and I am happy to help with encouragement of a shoulder to vent on.

    Lisa
