Introduction Text Sometimes I feel like a yo-yo - If I would only follow what I know about weight loss, I'd be thin as a rail! I need to stay focused and not get into an emotional eating slump. I'm not the most trusting sole (I worked for a criminal defense attorney for many years--Yikes!), and I don't easily make friends. However, when I do make a friend, I'm fiercely loyal.

My main goal is to get healthy and reduce the stress in my life. My more specific goal is to lose 60 lbs . I'm taking this "a bite at at time" and one day at a time.

This has been quite a journey for me. I joined Sparkpeople in 2009, and have had plenty of ups and downs. My program is not really a set one - I am eating mindfully, and trying to stay under 1500 calories each day. For a woman in her "senior" years, this seems to work much better for me than limiting my calories to 1000 or less. So far - So good! I'm still on this side of the dirt!

I'm originally from Virginia, but moved to Florida in 1980, so I've been here long enough to have "transplant" status. My son, James, and my two lovely miniature poodles and I live in Sanford, Florida.

I come from a decidedly mixed background, with heritage mostly from my Greek and Cherokee (Tsalagi) ancestors. My name, Tsisquausdi, means "Little Bird" in Tsalagi.
