Hello to all. My name is Dessa and I am a "newbie"

I just started this journey today (after I had breakfast). Boy did I find out I have a tough day ahead! But I will get with the program and get better at choosing food as I go. I am 80 years old and have had a lot of stress in the last 7 years. My daughter and best friend was critically ill and passed away January 6, 2019. Then in February 2019 my husband lost his eyesight, so here we go again. I am a Christian and depend on God for my support as there is no one else and who could be better anyway.
