Hello and welcome to my page. I am over 60 and overweight. In late 2009, I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer and became critically ill from infections during my chemo treatments which destroy the immune system. I spent most of six months either in hospital or rehab since I became so ill I could not walk. Since then I have been
trying to regain my strength. The ironic thing is that I lost my appetite while I was in the hospital and the doctors prescribed medications to make me eat. It worked so well that even after I was home, I continued to eat until I was more than 60 pounds overweight. Lost 25, regained 18. Now I am determined to get my weight under control with the help of my Spark friends. I am responsible for everything that goes into my mouth; I am responsible for getting exercise and building my strength. No one else can do it for me!
