Hi all! I'm Val...new here. Trying (yet again) to get back on track and get healthy, feel better...all that jazz 😉. I'm 46, stay at home Mom to a 13yo adorable, horrible teen 🤣😭, also disabled (back issues). I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in 2015, it went great, lost almost 100lbs....have since gained it back + more for many reasons; aging, menopause, meds, pandemic, no will power, bad eating habits, and a partner that wants to make me happy (with pastries)...so, here I am again, trying to be better, get better... starting off super 🦥 slow 😊
Thanks to anyone who has read my dissertation, lol.

    Hi Betty,

    I am in the same boat. Lots of illness but a history of overeating. I am starting over too and its hard. I am menopausal and it shows in my belly. We need to give ourselves some slack, we can forgive ourselves and start over. This time I want to eat and be mindful of how it affects every part of my life. Lets focus on today because we can't undo yesterday and tomorrow has not happened. Enjoy your life and this voyage toward health.
