Thank you guys so much for your thoughts and your good luck wishes!! I will read and re-read this every day and push forward. Can't go back, right? Where do you guys suppose we ever really went wrong? I don't find that I ever ate poorly to begin with but I do know that I have pernicious anemia and tend to be tired anyway so even just a little weight slows me down. Sometimes, at the end of the day, it just looks so nice to cuddle up on the couch with my cat and watch television. I know that is the wrong answer but i am hoping that after some weight loss I will be more energetic. I am not married nor do I have kids so I do not worry about there being extra food laying around to temp me...I am more of a late night eater. Sorry, I am prattling. Thank you guys again so very much and I look forward to this journey with you guys.
