    About Me

    I am morbidly obese (hate that term) and have had a weight problem most of my life. It seems to get worse every year. I feel that if I don't do something now, I never will. My husband died 2 and 1/2 yrs. ago with an obesity-related problem. I miss him so much. I also see myself heading down the same path which is very scarey. I would like to lose about 70 pounds by the end of the year. I need to lose twice that much, but 70 does not seem so overwhelming. I appreciate any support from you folks at DS.

    Interests

    I like to cook, do artsy projects, read, hang out with my dog and hold my new grandbaby (born May 2008.) Planning to go back to school and get my bachelor's degree.

      I have been a compulsive eater my entire life. I think it cannot get worse, but each year it does.

    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I need to lose half my body weight, but it seems so overwhelming. I have decided to focus on a (somewhat) short-term goal of 70 pounds. I would appreciate any encouragement you care to give. Thanks.

      Treatments

      Alli Working / Worked
      I think it's helping.
      Dancing Working / Worked
      Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
      Eating healthier foods and smaller quantities along with exercise works for me, but I can't seem to stay with it long enough to lose more than about 50 pounds.
