I have not been overweight all of my life, but the majority of my adult life. After getting married and bearing children I still never gained weight but the stress of every day life and troubles  begin to come into play after I found myself being a single mom after my husband and I had a ugly split.
Eating habits became poor and stress even more through the roof eventually putting me on blood pressure meds. I continue on with my life in the same rutt with no where to turn and not having put God in my life the blood pressure plunges and I find my self on more meds. Each day I pressed on with the mental thoughts of just making it to the next day. 
 I would try different diets only to lose about 15-20lbs and gain 30.Then some times my meds would cause so much sickness to my stomach beause of the dieting.
My weight finally gets 100 lbs in excess, headaches, back pain, sleep troubles. I found myself on a pill to go to sleep and one to wake me up each day.
One day on the job I woke up in the ER and the doctor told me next time I would more than likely not be so lucky and from there my mind was made.
I currently take 12 pills a day to maintain my comorbids but first an formost I  have found God, I appreciate myself so much more now. My children are older and very self sufficent. I have a great man in my life who is supportive of all my endeavors. I now know that I am in control of my life and I will succeed.
