Hi all,

I'm Kathy,
My daughter made me do this because I've been feeling crappy, blood sugars out of control and I've had to increase my insulin doses. I'm about 80 lbs overweight and I'm looking for some much needed support for when my nazi daughter isn't around to watch every piece of food I eat!!! :laugh:

I find that I eat when I'm not even hungry and I eat when I'm bored. I like food, I hate being fat!!
I don't have much will power and need a hand ya'll!!!

Thanks
Kath

    Hey Kathy!

    I was the same way as you.. I ate whenever I was bored or stressed. I too LOVE food! Let me tell you, once you've lost some weight, fast food or whatever it is you like to eat just doesn't taste good and you will realize it's not even worth it to eat it! I LOVE eating healthy.. I love the way it makes me feel. Hang in there and you'll see awesome results! You can do it!!

    Welcome!

    Hi Kathy. Welcome. I hope that you find that you get all you need from this site. Your daughter sounds like she must love you very much. My mother only had 5 years left to live because her weight was basically suffercating her. She opted to have GB surgery and she is now able to live a semi normal life, but she still eats horribly which is really bad since she had that operation!! And I bite my tongue so much about what she eats out of concern for her health. My other siblings don't bite their tongues as much. We all get very upset, but it is because we love her and we do not want to lose her to food. :cry: Love yourself. Eat to live, don't live to eat. That is what I am trying to learn to do and I am trying to teach this concept to my children as well.

    Welcome and best of luck to you! Try to fill your home with nutritious snacks that are ready to go, so if you do feel the urge to eat you can at least grab a healthy alternative!!!

    Thank you guys for the support!!
    I have to do this for myself and my kids!
    I was skinny most of my life, then I found out how good food was. Boy is this hard, I am very seldom hungry, I just like food. My daughter filled my pantry with healthy snaks. So here I go. My suger was only 95 this morning, hasn't been that low in ages. ya! me!!
