Writing about yourself is so challenging!  Hi everyone!  Lets see, start with the basics,  I am 42 yrs old, divorced and live in Orange, CA.  I am currently dealing with some medical issues and weight issues, and really want to change my quality of life!   I have been letting myself go for way too long, and feel so much older then I am and should be. 

I love being active and social, but lately I have been more reclusive.  I currently went to the doctors (family physican) to have a check up, and he was really worried about me!  I am at my highest weight ever 209 lbs.  He is currently running a battery of medical tests, I have not gotten results in yet, and I am bit worried.  I don't want to be on medication the rest of my life. 

If anyone out there has any information that would help someone that lives by themselves, to help deal with health and weight issues, as well as confidence issues, I would welcome your advice with open arms. 

Thank you all for reading about me, and I hope to make some friends here and read about you, maybe I can help you!
