Hi my name is Alex and today is day 1

HI my name is Alex and for the past two decades I have been taking care of everyone but myself. In 2017 my husband passed after 11 years bed ridden. I found myself extremely overweight, I have stopped caring about how I look and how I feel. I am also now completely isolated and without friends. I recognise that the only way I am going to enter the human race again is to step up and make it happen. So today I went out early for a walk and I will also have a stretch and then I will think about my diet . I have set some goals the biggest is to see my son in Edinburgh in Nov, 18 but I want to lose 50kg before I get there... I want to get involved in life again and I have alot of work to do
