I was addicted to food, eating too much..five foot 6" and 1/2...weighed 210 pounds.-- 1982

Now..same height...about 40 years later 148 pounds. minus 62 pounds. And, most important kept it off for
more than 35 years. Overeaters Anonymous & my higher power saved my life.

Is it easy? NO! Far from Easy. Sometimes I slip, I never give up..

.... I cannot change the past, CAN YOU? I heard that at a meeting sometime in 1982 or 3

but, the over all picture is totally different. It is always ..".ONE DAY AT A TIME"

Sometimes one hour at a time..whatever works is what I know. If it is this or that....whatever works...

HANG IN THERE, DON'T GIVE UP.......Please Don't Give Up....Please..
