[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 19727"] Jo - I'm glad you like that site. I absolutely love it! As silly as this may sound, especially coming from a grown up, I have never learned healthy eating habits. I don't even know where to begin with it. It's actually kind of embarassing. As a teenager and into my early twenties I was mildly anorexic - which I guess is like being barely pregnant. [img]:wink:[/img] What I mean is, I was not a severe case. My lowest weight was 90 pounds at 5'4". At 23, I weighed 103 and thought I was fat. Seriously. Put on a pair of shorts and took them off cause I thought my thighs were huge! (I was a size 2. How messed up is that?) Until 4 years ago, weight was never an issue, other than I always thought I was carrying too much of it...when I wasn't. Food was never something I was concerned with. I didn't care for food. Well, that all changed 4 years ago. I still don't care for food. But it seems to like hanging around on me! And this isn't an anorexic mind thinking the body is heavy. This body is just heavy. I used to go to the doctor and they would tell me to drink ensure and milkshakes, etc etc etc. Now they tell me to work on a weight loss plan. Sigh..... Long story short...I had some bloodwork done a couple weeks ago and my cholesterol is high. Doctor said to work on weight loss and a low fat diet. She may as well have been speaking Greek. I'm using that site as a way to learn healthy eating and healthy living skills. You know, being proactive and all......
