    Who Are You?

    I am a 37 year old overeater. I am sleeved now 4 nine days & i feel great! I lost 9lbs since & im not having knee pain! Healing is a trip tho. Lol. U can't i say u can't bite more than a dime size at all. Im taking my time relearning to eat. My instinct wants to stuff my face but my body will not allow it. So now I'm not wasting my time eating, so i have to find things to do that fill that "food space". So I'm just do anxious &looking at new styles of clothes. I'm saving $25 a week for my new wardrobe...
