You've made the first step and now I have too! I have found myself not stopping to take care of myself because I have been too busy taking care of everyone else! There always has been an excuse for me to not exercise or not eat well, but now I need to be selfish for once and take care of me. Glad you are too! I could really relate to your post about not thinking it had gotten that bad. Two years ago I lost 15 pounds and I have basically put it all back on. I have no idea how because I felt so much better when I was healthier. I am totally an emotional eater and the things I turn to to eat, don't even make me feel better when I eat them! Good luck to you! You can do it!
