Hi all,
I'm just getting "restarted" on a fitness program. I need to lose about 70 pounds. I feel like a hypocrite because I am overweight and unhealthy and I am a nurse preaching "good" health to my patients. I'm looking for some encouragement to keep me on track as I am an emotional eater and have had some emotional issues lately. I joined Medical Weight Loss Clinic 6 months ago and not lost ANY weight. I keep losing and regaining because I have no willpower.
Please help!! 
Thanks,
Diane
