INTRO The Progress

[song writer]

My path toward a healthier me will continue for as long as I draw breath. Body, mind, and spirit alike.

A doctor informed me that I'm pre diabetic, dealing with high blood pressure, and obese. Life has thrown plenty at me, and those hardships shaped and built the person I am now. Through fighting my own demons, and going through heartbreak and suffering, I've learned to love myself no matter what my body looks like.

That said, I don't want to stay at 300 lbs. "Okay" I'm joining to listen, to learn, to find support, and I'll try to contribute more than I take. Happy to be here in this forum/community. Thank you sincerely.

4 weeks on reta starting dose .5 twice a week.

I've seen plenty of folks try to shed pounds over the years, and the majority are driven by self-loathing. What I've observed is that those who despise themselves tend to fall back into old patterns nearly every time. As a force for change, hatred gets far more credit than it deserves, and my wish for you is that love is what transforms you.
