My story...
I am 38 years old, with two girls 11 and 15 divorced. I have always been a big girl my whole life, I think only people who have always struggled with their weight know what I am going through with wanting to begin my life again and get that opportunity to do things a little different.
Yes, I have lost a lot of weight in my ephedra days, but always managed to get it back and some. So why dont I do that again, my sister asked, since I have done it before? Cause I am tired of the whole yo-yo thing, and seeing me go from feeling great to feeling numb.
There is always an in-between time where I love being a thick girl, cause I feel healthy and sexy, but when I am too large like I am now 246 lbs 5'5" BMI 42.3 and my size 18 jeans are sooo killing me, I refuse to buy anything larger and dresses are looking like potato sacks, this is when I am done...
My Knees are killing me, my middle is sore after wearing my jeans, I cant see my lower half anymore. I dont do this to myself on purpose... I just have an abusive relationship with FOOD. I dont eat it cause I am depressed, angry, sad... I eat as a social thing, "lets meet for lunch/dinner". Being Mexican-American it is soooo social, we always meet for "carne asada", everything is always a reason to get together for a BBQ.
I am ready for my new begining, I come from a family of large women and a history of health complications from type 2 diabetes and bladder infections, heart problems, and blood pressure etc...
I am sooo done yo-yo-ing, I am so done with my chained relationship with FOOD!
I am ready!
