Hi, my name is Ann and I’m new to the forum. I’ve been a member of the FB group for quite a while but have not seriously got down to business. I’m off on hollibobs in two weeks to Borneo, it’s on my bucket list and I vowed I wouldn’t be this size, but I am. I could wait and start after my holiday but this is what I do every week so I can’t wait another day so today it is! I’ve had a problem all my adult life with binges, sometimes a binge will last days even weeks and this is how I find myself at age 55, 196lbs and only 5’1″. I’m always starting some diet or other, I have a whole bookcase full of nutrition books, I could take a degree in the subject but I put nothing into practice. I’ve done every diet going and the madness has to stop. I’m always after a short term fix and I know I need to change my outlook on this. I’m reading all your amazing success stories and helpful tips, it’s so inspiring. Here we go….
