    • About Me

      I'm a 41 yr old mother of 3 boys - 2 of whom live with their dad and one is in college... I am bipolar and have borderline personality disorder and need to lose weight really badly!!! I have been through a number of jobs over my lifetime but am currently on disability because of the bipolar and bpd... I joined this site to meet new people and get some more support in my life... it started out that I was looking for weight loss support but there's so much more to benefit from here that I think it's going to be a good site to belong to... I live with two gay men (a couple) and we are totally a family - not a very traditional family but we've been living together for over 4 yrs now and belong as a team...
