Hello,
I have been lurking on these boards for a while now. So I thought it was time to register, and introduce myself. I've been eating plant based for about 7 years now. But I haven't been eating healthfully. I've been eating a lot of processed junk food. I have always struggled to keep myself at a healthy weight. I've yo-yo dieted since my teenage years, always losing and re-gaining the same 10-20 lbs. But now, at age 47, I find myself about 35 lbs. overweight, and I am worried that my weight will keep climbing. I'm also at a point where I have no more motivation to go on yet another diet. I recently bought Dr. McDougall's book, The Starch Solution. After reading it, the light bulb went on, and I realized that it shouldn't be about my weight, but about my health. I believe that committing to this WFPB diet will improve my health, and hopefully the weight issue will correct itself in the process. I am the only person in my family that eats plant based. So it makes it hard. But it's so nice to have this forum to come to, to find more like-minded people who are in the same boat as me.
Thanks,
Meeeechele
