Yes - you can get: back to a healthier weight. Be much more mindful of your eating behaviors. If you are struggling in this area -consider working with a nutritionist &/or a trainer. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Get regular execise. Make sure that calories burned exceed calories taken in.
