My addiction is food. Today, I tried on a pair of pants, I haven't worn in 40 years. Perfect fit. [View all]

Went from 216 (five foot 6...and 1/2) to about 148. I have kept the weight off since about 1983. These pants are the
latest move cause I lost another 8 pounds. Overeaters Anonymous saved my life. It is that simple.

(not sure of weight...guessing, because I threw away the scale sometime in 1983.
