    Hi, I'm glad you are determined to change. I just joined MFP a few days ago and people here are awesome. Add me if you would like.

    Ke, congrats on taking hold of what is yours - your life!!! You can do it girl! There are a lot of options for you, but one of the best things might be to look into a vegetarian or vegan lifetstyle. I know it sounds extreme, but if you do the research, you'd be surprised. You can check out a documentary called Forks Over Knives to get a feel for it (they include all of their data and science behind the proof that it works). Feel free to add me if you like. I'd be happy to talk and help out in any way I can.
