I'm a victim of the "clean your plate and munchies for boo-boos" I've been heavy if not overweight most of my life. I've never been over 100 lbs of my ideal weight, but have been close. I was diagnosed with Pseudo Tumor Cerebri (excess fluid on the brain) about 6 years ago. The most common people who get it are female and overweight. The easiest treatment is weight loss (way to easy).I'm now 41 and tired of being tired, sick, and lazy. After doing my first 11 mile hiking peak the spring of 2009 with the local Jr High kids, I have been reborn. I wasn't going to let the mountain beat me then, and I'm not going to let my past habits beat me now. I have 80 pounds to loss, and no one is going to stop me.
