    • Interests

      I like hikeing, going for long walks. I like to curl up on the couch on cold days with my loved one talking or watching a good movie. I prefer a good home cooked meal to going out to eat. I love music from the 70s and 80s. Im not much of a tv watcher would much rather spend time talking or being with my loved one.

      I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Like other people I have lost weight just to put it back on. I am addicted to food. The thing with that is you have to eat you can't just quit.

    • Open Food Addiction

      What can I say I love food. I do tend to binge some, but lately have been able to control a little. I had days when I was eating from the time I got up to the time I went to bed. My doctor once asked me what I was eating that was causing my weight gain, I told him I just ate everything.
