Losses that I wish for

I am trying to teach myself how to eat well, and eat to live. For years now I have yo-yoed, and unfortunately my love of beer and pub food has left me in a static state of weight. I am growing to love running, but haven't dropped much weight because I have managed to talk myself into thinking that I could eat anything because I was exercising. Wrong.
One website I have found so helpful has been Can You Stay for Dinner? Andie is living the experience of losing a major amount of weight and has kept it off. She is real and realistic.

I want to eat real food. I want to be healthy. The health issues of my parents scare me. I want to live for a good long while.

Needs

If the need is there, why do they never call? Why do we look like the crazy stalker girlfriend/boyfriend, reminding the Department that we are here and available? Is it no wonder that good foster parents cannot be recruited or stay?
