I have been overweight through most of my adult life. I have tried most every diet or weight loss plan out there, Weight Watchers, Slim Fast, Atkins, even joined a hypnosis place to help me loose weight....I have always enjoyed food, and I am sure I have overeaten for years with out realizing. I do recall a period of time when my youngest was a baby I was much smaller (135lbs). I had a bad fall injuring my spine/knees. Do to poor mobility I gained weight and was up to 170lb then I had to have spinal surgery, I went up to 200+ while recovering from surgery. Then 8 years ago I lost my only daughter to Cancer, I fell into a very deep depression, I rarely left the house I spent most of my time on the top floor of my home. Stayed up at night on the computer or reading. I slept only when I was totally spent, and sometimes that was for 16 -18 hours. Hubby would make a lunch for me and put it in a cooler in the office upstairs so I would eat. He worked late hours and usually got take out for meals, and my weight went sky rocketing up. He tried to get me out of it but nothing worked. I hit my heaviest at 315lbs, 2008. Then my hubby had a horrible work accident and I had to pull myself out of the depression to care for him. I have high blood pressure and use a sleep machine. I know I will never fully recover from loosing my daughter, EVER, but I want my life back and loosing weight is the only way I see to achieve that for me now.
