I was fairly thin throughout childhood but gained weight when I moved to a more-advanced school in 6th grade. By the summer after 8th grade, my mom had me at the doctor for diet pills. I lost 35# and kept it off until I was almost 30 with a combination of working hard at my career and vomiting when I binged. When I stopped the bulimia (found out I was pregnant with my second child), I slowly gained weight that never came off.

So here I am, in my 50s, carrying around the weight of 3 people. It's affecting my ability to be a good teacher, a good wife, & a good grandmother. And now I've been diagnosed with diabetes (a new diagnosis), restless legs, sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, severe osteo-arthritis in my knees, & depression.
