Main Goal
Learn to make healthier food choices and eat like a "normal" human being. No binge/purge cycle or starving myself. Eat what I love in moderation and balance it with better food choices the majority of the time.
Previous Diets
I suck at following rules, so I don't follow any "diet". I don't even like the term "diet". I prefer to think of it as a new lifestyle, not a diet.
Favorite Workouts
Walking around my city, seeing what there is to see.
Things To Do Before I Die
Favorite Activities
Reading, editing photos and videos for no good reason at all other than my own amusement, floating around my city taking everything in, snacking (of course that's got to change), going to concerts, listening to music, shopping at thrift stores and boutiques when I have the $$$.
Favorite Music
Lots of different kinds! Black metal, death metal, doom metal, symphonic metal, folk metal, industrial metal, atmospheric metal, melodic metal, gore metal, cybertechnodeath metal and most classical music.
Favorite Movies
Apocalypse Now Dee Snider's Strangeland Ringu (Japanese "The Ring" - the original - the cheese, it amuses me.) The Audition The Exorcist Any cheesy horror that will make me giggle
Favorite TV Shows
Not a big tv watcher. History channel is cool, though. So is Fear Net on demand.
Favorite Books
World War Z The Undead and Philosophy Poisonwood Bible The Road
Other Interests
Critters. I love critters! I think they're all so very cute, even the ones other people think are "scary" like bats, rats and snakes. Not too fond of rabbits in person, but they're cute if they're far enough away from me or just pictures, I suppose. I also enjoy cooking. Which is hardly surprising considering how much I love to eat!

Divorced, 38 yo female in California. Things going against me: I am very limited in the exercising I can do due to a fractured left shoulder and a chronic condition with my left hip. As a result, I have gained a whopping 46 pounds (almost)!! I can't stand low fat or fat-free cheeses or sour cream or ice cream and I only use real butter. I'm also a very picky eater and am allergic to lemons and nuts of all kinds except almonds and sunflower seeds. I am also dirt poor (not an exaggeration) and live in a multi-generational household.
Things I have going for me: I have never met a vegetable I didn't like. I am an adventurous diner so not counting those foods I'm allergic to, I'll eat almost anything. Two of the other women in my household also need to lose weight, both more than I do, so they would also be open to controlling or changing our diet.
I wish everyone luck and good health! May you achieve your goals safely and quickly and come away from the experience with a greater appreciation for life!
