I am not new to MFP but new to the community.

Hi to everyone. I am 73, 338 lbs and I have dealt with a weight problem all of my life getting up to 420 lbs. at one point. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and it started clear back into my pre-teen years. As I got heavier and heavier, my mother shamed me over what I ate and she, as well as my younger sister, was embarrassed to be seen with me. I started sneaking food at a young age and I wouldn't take a lunch to school so my mother wouldn't comment. She worked and so I would fill up after school and then eat a full supper so she wouldn't know what I was really eating.
I am here so I can learn to have a healthy relationship with food, get support and get healthy in my twilight years.

    Hey there 😊 We are here to support each other and motivate each other, coz sometimes in some moment, some people loose motivation, just like me 😊 I am new here too, but I love to feel good in my skin.I can say one thing. When you start losing weight and getting in shape, your motivation will jump on max.Don’t give up, be patient and you’ll achieve the results you want.
