looking for a buddy!
I am 59 years old and I have been battling weight gain for about 50 years now. I have taken prescription meds to loose weight. I have tried the grapefruit diet, the soup diet, Dr. Atkins diet and I could go one here! Have been on every diet going and yes I do loose the weight but when I start eating regular food, I gain the weight all back and 10 lbs more. Every one in my family is overweight and not just a little. I have a problem with food, I eat too much of it. My son is also heavy and he has struggling with his weight for the past 16 years.
I am a cancer survivor ( for the past 11 years now) and I have also had 2 back surgeries in 1993. I am 100 lbs overweight and I would like to loose it all as now with age, I suffer from arthritis in both my knees. I am active..I volunteer a lot of my time driving people to and from medical appointments.
I live in eastern Ontario between the Ontario and Quebec borders. There are no support groups in the small community where I live. I am looking for a buddy to be able to exchange, ideas, e-mails and support during this very difficult task that I must do.
I do have am exercise bike and I can still get around reasonably well. I miss the encouragement from someone who is where I am now and who understands what being overweight does to mind and body.
Many thanks.
Agathe
