Hello

[easwann]

Hi , everyone. I am not new to this woe and have been active on another forum, but a friend of mine posts here and seems to like it alot. I love to read and relate to people with the same food ups and downs as I have, and am looking forward to looking aroung this site!!

Personally I lost 35 lbs in 03/04 and kept it off til last spring by not returning to starches. Then a medication had me gain 20 lbs in a couple of months! So after seeing a halloween pic ( scary) I hunkered down and have lost 25 to date. Definitely eat vlc, and am sorry to say every few weeks have to confess to a dalliance, but it is usually an isolated event so I just keep plugging away. If I dont follow this woe I get a crazy head and just have low self esteem and body image, whereas if I follow closely i get results and feel in control of the food.

Well thats my story.. Lizzie :wave:
