Good Morning BM and all who follow. (remember lurkers don't be shy chime in any time).
Havin a cup of chocolate protein coffee and a hard boiled egg for starters. then on to my water.

MY WHY: I was just retired and found myself on my back on the counch watching 500 lb this person and that teen and so on. I had injured my back racking leaves and it started. I could baerly walk. grocery shop or clean. I had to sit on a chair to load the dishwasher. I was becomeing my mother, who passed away and lived a miserable life because of obesity related issues. I put my daughter in the same position I was in at her age, fending for my mothers wants and needs. (playing nurse maid to me) . I felt that I had to change the way I was or I would surely be the person that the fire department would need to cut the front room wall out of the house to remove me if I got in any emergency situation. I was fearful of becoming the mom in What's Eating Gilbert Fry. And I was sick of making my children suffer embarasment for what I had done to myself. So I made the choice to change.

It was OH and this board that got me through the scary parts and gave me hope and courage when I was in need. I can't say how much the support and friendshipsthat have come from this mean to me.

Wishing everyone has a supperdooperXPLodishish day!
