Re: Things you didn't know about me!

OH Terri.....I hear ya! Boy do I. I'm constantly working on "me" and it's damn hard (excuse my language but it is ) I love food too.......especially the kind that 'THEY' say we shouldn't consume......You know the kind?? The foods loaded with fat and calories.........(pssst...the best kind).

Just wanted to chime in so you knew you weren't alone. It probably doesn't help though cause hey, I'm not chocolate you can consume.... I'm just another sufferer who confirms what you say......Dang....it's SO UNFAIR, isn't it?

Love ya "sister"

Mary Jo

Re: Things you didn't know about me!

Terri,

Boy, do I know what you mean! I was already struggling with my weight pre dx - then packed on another 30 lbs with treatment. I joined Weight Watchers at the very end of August last year and have lost 50 lbs! It is such a great program; I am so glad I gave it another try. I am still working toward my goal and feel so much better physically and mentally. Don't give up, you are on the right track!
