I'm sixty years old, an artist and writer who just returned to the US after living in a village in Mexico for six years. I'm slowly adjusting to the different pace and lifestyle here in the US again, and I love Portland, where I am staying with my grown daughter during my transition. I'm an artist, working on small works to sell, and large works for a gallery show in 2016. I have been on lots of steroids and other medications for asthma, and that seems to affect my weight. But mostly, I understand that my relationship with food isn't healthy, so I'm paying attention to which signals trigger me, what choices I make that cause my weight to stay higher than I'd like.
