    I have 35 lbs to get back to my healthy weight. I have Yo Yo'ed for years along with binge eating. I gave up alcohol three years ago and the stress of my son passing put me in eating over drive. I need to train my body for normal eating patterns again.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Krews. I had been on a health kick and had lost 30 pounds when my father passed, and the stress and grief of his loss derailed my progress. You can do this! Climb that mountain one step at a time.

    @Trisec Yes! Don't quit! To the above advice, I would add take your "base" water that you are currently drinking, even it is just one glass a day. Add ONE glass a day until you are comfortably at 6 glasses. This works wonders to calm the appetite and make you feel good. Also....add exercise just a bit more each day. As @mtaratoot says, keep adding small things you can continue indefinitely. It's fantastic that you are walking daily! Try adding one flight of stairs going up a day per week....and take an elevator down. I live in a city with a subway system. The stations have three or four escalators/stairs. Months ago I did this. I walked up one flight and took the escalators otherwise. Then I added two flights, etc. The difference in my physical fitness was HUGE!! I dropped INCHES off my hips. This small change over time has made my heart so much stronger and it wasn't difficult at all. I even take the stairs going down now too. So look for tiny ways like that to incorporporate exercise. 😊

    @ConnieSTanner I love that your dogs watch out for you (even if they get in the way, haha). I hope your dog free workout zone is coming along nicely! As a long-time dog enthusiast, I also recommend seeing your dogs up with a comfy spot and a frozen filled Kong toy when you need them out of the way for a while. You can find lots of nice ideas online if needed!

    @takinitalloff it is coming along. I'm starting at the floor and working my way up. that way I can use the room even if the rest isn't finished. I'm going to lay the spongy tiles so it's floor work friendly. the dogs have all the distraction items. They will stop everything they are doing to see what I'm doing. I have a pack of rascals. I have to leave the house for work while my husband works from home, so when I'm home I have 3 little shadows of furry happiness.

    @retrecek No need to be scared! Now you know, and you can do something to get better. I got my A1C down from β€œprediabetic” to perfectly normal in just three months. You can totally do this!
