I have been over weight most of my adult life and had just given up. I decided to just love my self as I am and liv my best life. At the beginning of covid I decided I wanted to be healthy so I began a diet. I lost 60lbs but then got derailed and gained all but 20lbs back. I was diagnosed with cancer about 8 months ago and was told it was my fault I had cancer because I was obese. In order to increase my chances of a successful surgery and recovery I needed to lose weight. I was put in a weight loss study and on a liquid diet for about 3 months. I lost 38 lbs and had my surgery. I decided to continue with a balanced diet to continue losing weight. Thankfully I lost my cravings and addiction to carbs. I am losing weight at a slower rate but I am still losing and feeling better all the time. I plan to start a weight lifting regime soon.
I'm a single 60yo who has three grown children and three teenage grandchildren who are the light of my life. I work as a Job Coach and Outreach worker with Developmentally Challenged adults.
