I did a lot of online research and the place thank goodness is 12 step centered, Christian (my faith), and (most importantly) lesbian friendly. Took me quite awhile to find somewhere like this.... they have everything from individual therapy to family therapy to group therapy, to exercise fitness programs, workshops etc. If any of you have been watching "Addicted to Food" on the A&E Network and seen the Shades of Hope treatment center featured on the broadcast, where I am going is rather similar to that place.

I'm about to deal with a lot of skeletons in the closet.... from family of origin issues with my dad to issues with my partner who is also an overeater.... plus I've never paid much attention to my physical self in terms of an overall exercise plan. I've also to this point binged on carbs, sugar, snacks and the like. Have struggled with relapse for the last 13-14 years in a 12 step program for overeaters.

Wish me luck! Will post once I get back. It's no fun being over 300 lbs and not being able to walk comfortably, among many other things.

I want an update. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Take Care,

Today:

Breakfast:
Smoothie made with almond milk, banana, peanut butter, ice, and low-fat yogurt = 5 ww points

Mid-morning snack:
Large spicy hot v8 = 4WW points

Lunch:
Progresso light soup Southwest Vegetable = 4 WW points

Afternoon snack:
Banana and apple = 0 points

Pre-Gym snack:
Pumpkin and flax granola bar = 4 WW points

Dinner tonight:
Probably a lean cut of leftover steak and some steamed veggies. Guestimating 8 WW points there.

This is only 25 points for the day and I get 42 but I am trying to break my plateau so will try this for a few days to see what happens.
