New Here: First Week

I have a long journey a head, looking for people to travel a long with to stay motivated. I have about 80 pounds to drop. Being a mother of one child who has had many surgeries (Not life threatening, but major reconstructive surgeries) the last 17 years, it was hard to eat healthy and if anyone knows about stress eating it is me. I noticed that food has been a huge comfort dealing with difficult medical situations with my son...late nights and his recovery, vending machines at the children's hospital were just a few doors down, sometimes I was too scared to leave the room and junk food was quick and simple. We are wrapping up the last of his surgeries this summer, but decided it was time to take care of me, which when your mom to any child.....so easy to lose site of that! So, it's been a week and I weigh in tomorrow but I snuck a peak at the scale last night that said I lost six pounds, which is a great start! Hoping to keep up making progress.
