My New Weight Loss Journey

Ever since I was a child I have been overweight.  My weight has gone up and down throughout the years because of my yo yo dieting and I've never been able to get a grip on it.  Food is a great comfort and is my tool of choice for dealing with whatever comes my way. 

 I finally found a program that tackles every aspect of losing weight and getting healthy.  Florida Hospital is sponsoring a new obesity program to help.  It incorporates a monthly visit to an endocrinologist, dietician, fitness trainer, spiritual advisor, and more importantly, a psychologist.  I've had my first visit and was really impressed with what they all had to offer.  I was put through a bunch of tests including bloodwork, DEXA scan, body composition, and metabolic rate test, and several psychological questions.  I don't have the results of the bloodwork or DEXA scan, but my other results were a little unsettling.  

I will post more later about the results later if anyone is interested.
