Introducing Myself!

Hi Everyone,

I'm Gretchen and I live in NH. I would love to say this is my first visit to the dieting world but I've been doing this off and on since 2001. I am a single mom of two boys, a 19 year old with Autism and a 17 year old with a mood disorder. I am also a high school math teacher. Life is busy and stressful.

I have recently been diagnosed with Barret's Esophagus and I need to make a permanent change to my diet and lifestyle. Diet and Exercise is the best way to combat this illness and prevent it from developing into a cancerous condition. So I'm back!

Feel free to add me as a friend and we can keep each other motivated. I will try to post every day and do my best to respond to comments :smile:

Gretchen

    Best of luck Gretchen!! Welcome! We're neighbors, I'm in Vt. LOVE New England but can't say I'm ready for the cold. Love snow but not cold.

    I am definitely not ready for the cold! I have to remind myself that I'm an adult and I pay the bills and can have the heat at 68 if I want to. I hear it's supposed to warm up for Thanksgiving though!
