Long Hiatus for weight loss and healthy life.

I have been a recovering over eater my entire life.  I love food and still enjoy great flavors.  I went back to college and pursued my desire to become a teacher and it maxed my weight out prior to GBS.  I took the plunge and had surgery, life came back to me and I was enjoying being able to run and have fun.  Then life as usual being unpredictable I landed a great job, jumped in with both feet, survived three family medical crisis's,  and gained weight.  During this tie I forgot the cardial rule of doing for myself and it is ok to be selfish.
 
In July, I decided that my life is not where I needed to be health wise and I recomitted to eating the way I should.  I am down 18 pounds and I am happy.
