Cassie stated it very well, but I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on deciding to take care of you, and taking your life into your own hands. You've had a life full of experience so far, and you can go forward knowing that you can probably get through ANYTHING if you've already gotten through that -- losing the weight will be a wonderful life-affirming thing.
You seem like you've got a good plan in place so far. Even just one little change every day, they all add up to big changes over time. Welcome welcome, and we're all here for each other
