loseforlife

I am a 53 year old yo yo dieter. My entire adult life has been on a weight roller coaster. In the past I was always able to lose a pretty signifcant amount of weight but have never been able to keep it off long term. I have done every diet on the planet and probably the most successful for me was sugar busters. Ironically it is pretty darn close to the post op diet that we are to follow for the rest of our lives. I don't really know why I ever went off that program, it worked for me and didn't make me feel deprived.

My mother recently passed away, in December last year, and her death has really affected me in many ways. I don't want to go down the path that she was on in her 70's. She was very ill and overweight. Every condition that she had was exacerbated by her weight. In spite of all of this, I had gained about 25 lbs since her death. Food has been a comfort and a "friend" to me for many years and I turned to it to "help" me through the grief. Turns out it hasn't been much a "friend" at all.

I am so excited to be on this journey and finally take control of my food problem. I am a grandmother of 3 precious grand babies and I want to be around for a very long time and see them thrive!
