Hi, I'm in So. Indiana. I'm 5'4 and around 230 (ugggh, it's awful to even speak). I've gained about 60 lbs over the last 6 years. I lost 230 (called an ex husband) 6 1/2 years ago and frankly I'm a happy eater. Do I want to lose the weight, absolutely!! , but I am not going to let it beat me down. I will turn 46 in May and have 3 boys age 26, 22 and 13. I am very familiar with depression. While I've been blessed not to have suffered from it, my parents battle it at times. More so my mom.
I work 10-12 hours a day as a school nurse and I'm sedentary for long periods. I keep a garden in the spring and summer, have chickens, dogs and a couple cats. I stay busier than I'd like and my eating habits suck. I may go all day and not eat or drink or I may eat like there's no tomorrow. I know how I'm supposed to way, drink and exercise to lose, but not having someone to be accountable with, really does make a difference.
