hi there,
my name is shirley and I live in Ontario Canada. I have been fighting my weight all of my life. I weighed 175 lbs at the age of 11, and as an adult, was at one time 230. I had a very traumatic childhood and ate to comfort myself. I carried this pattern into my adult life. I have become a somewhat better with my compulsive eating but have a ways to go.
I found this site about a week ago and I really like it. I have a food scale and weigh my food for gram weights and calculate my calories thru the food diary. it makes calculating much easier. I like the way that u can adjust the calculations in the table, it is very precise.
I am considered disabled and live on pension, also work part time for goodwill industries. I own a small parrot who I adore. his name is sami.
