I'm almost 64 this month. Been retired for 2 years. I have been with my boyfrriend for almost 27 years. My whole family has had weight problems. I had an aunt who weighed more than 300 pounds when she passed away from liver cancer. Mama was almost 200 when she died. All of my aunts were and are heavy.I have been on diets all of my life. I don't weigh much but I want to lose 20 pounds by Christmas. I have no kids but my boyfriends family is absolutly wonderful and has accepted me completely. We have 6 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. I love to do all kinds of crafts and I sell my baking on line from Oct-Jan. Norm and I love to go to the casinos here in Arizona. I read mystery fiction and have written 2 short stories and hope to get them published before I get to old.
