Invitation for some people who might need a buddy

Hi I am Grandma Kate or Mama Kate to some. Had Bariatric surgery 5 years ago and lost over 70% of my body weight. Never got to my goal because we moved and had a lot of life changes. As an over weight person I feel we always put ourselves on the back burner and take care of others first. I really would love to make my goal this time and welcome anyone who needs a buddy. No one understands us like us. People that have never had a weight problem don't understand. I have been encouraged to stay fat by thin friends and asked by thin friends why I can't just keep the weight off? So it would be nice to share with others and encourage each other on days when we struggle. Good luck to all!
