Hello All!

I'm not exactly new, but I may as well have been. I kept to myself and stayed very low key and GAINED weight! I just had surgery and am ready for a fresh start. It has always been very difficult for me to ask for help, but I obviously can't seem to do this by myself. I need support and I think I'm ready to accept it. Please respond if you have been where I'm currently at. :smile:

    Thanks for the words of support. Due to my surgery I'm not able to do a lot of physical activities so right now I'm having to watch my food intake carefully. It's not so bad when I can plan ahead of time. My worry is next week when I go back to work. My job entails lots of travel which means I usually just eat what's convenient. I have somehow got to learn to make beter choices when I'm on the road.

    Any Suggestions?
