Hi!

I'm 64 years old and weight about 215. I have been thinner most of my life with the exception of 3 times. This is my third time. It started with medication, Prednisone and Gabapentin. Which I'm on both at this moment. They are the two worst medications that I know of to make you eat and eat way too much! I used to be able to control it better but abbot 5 years ago it just got too much, I gave up and here I am.

I am married, and I have a lot of wonderful pets, gardens outside and plants indoors. I even adopt the deer and squirrels in our neighborhood. I love feeding the wild birds as well. A hummingbird even visited me yesterday and hovered right in front of me as if he were speaking to me. It was very awe inspiring.

My goal weight right now is about 170, but I have very little hope in being able to lose anything. I cannot even keep from eating over my limit at this point. But I'm not giving up. I'm going to keep trying. Today I ate only 384 over my limit, which in a weeks time is the best I have done. So, my mind or God keeps saying Baby Steps, Maybe that's what's happening. It's nice to be a part of a community and hopefully someday I can be thin again. Like the me I know.

My name is Mary
