16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share?I have been overweight for most of myu life.  I have triend many times- lost some and then fell off the wagon just to gain it all and then some.  have never really had the support i needed from my immediate family.  I got divorced in october of 2005 and gained weight at what i would call a rapid pace.  i have no life outside of work and school right now but that will change in April - i will be done with school. i think at that point i will have time to devote to some additional exercise that i am not getting now. I have remairried and this man is the greatest.  he is supportive of my decsions but is nto ready to implement them himself - his biggest downfall is soda pop. We will see if this works or if i need to add something like weightwatchers to it.
