Hello, my name is Tricia and I live in Houston, TX. I currently work full time at my job and also last year started my own art business to sell my arts and crafts. I'm 59 (turning 60 this year, which feel so strange). I have had a life long weight issue. I love food of all kinds, which doesn't help. I especially have had ongoing issues with sweets - sugar intake. I have a history of being an emotional eater and a stress eater. I have suffered from depression and anxiety over the years, and still do. I have two dogs and I absolutely love animals. I enjoy walking the dogs, hiking, nature areas, etc. My goal is to reduce my calories to a healthy level, lose weight, and get more fit. Since my best friends do not have the same kinds of eating issues (if any), I need to get my support from everybody here at FatSecret.
