edited September 28 in Introduce Yourself
I'm eating healthy (I refuse to say I'm on a diet) after a heart-wrenching intervention from my daughters. They lost one parent to smoking, and they don't want to lose another from years of self-indulgence. And even though I want to lose more than 100 lbs, after one week my clothes are looser, I have more energy, and my mood is happier. I could use some friends along the way as I know there will be times when I'm ready to give up. My life has been a pattern of yo-yo diets and weight fluctuations and I've always eventually ended up heavier than before. But I swear not this time. I want to be in good enough shape to take my new (first) grandbaby to Disney World some day.
