Oh WoW some of these stories have me in tears.... But, they act as good warnings thats for sure. Albeit scary

Particularly to me a newbie on this journey who up until a couple of weeks ago was convinced my life was over and I was going to die any minute of a heart attack

In fact the opposite has happened. 8 weeks down the track and I cannot recall every feeling this well......
You have been given some excellent advice and I am so happy for you that you are planning to take back control of this beast before it is too late. I wish you nothing but goodluck as you begin to take on this beast one meal at a time, one day at a time.
