I am, essentially, a happy and very fortunate person. I have a loving husband, 3 wonderful, grown children and 4 super terrific grandchildren. We'll be celebrating 37 years of marriage soon and my husband has been a saint, all these years, in dealing with my weight problem and its accompanying psychosis. :-)

I've joined WW about 30 times. I've lost TONS of weight but never reached goal. (I was 15 lbs from goal once, in 1976.) Now I have to lose weight because of tremendous health issues and I want to walk again. Now I limp along and sometimes can't even get to work...SO...I'm going to begin a long, important treck. I know I'm going to be a train wreck sometimes, and sometimes I'll be in a garden full of beautiful flowers (metiphorically speaking :-)) I'm going to be in emotional pain when I can't eat like I want but I'm willing to risk the pain again. I love life and, for some reason, I'm cutting myself out of it.

I love to quilt and crosstitch and read and travel. Travel is 'out' for me, right now but not for long!!! :-)

Yes, this is going to quite the journey.
