My name is Mel. I'm 25 and my weight has constantly fluctuated my whole life. My highest has been 250 lbs and my lowest 130 lbs.
I donated my kidney in August 2013 and since then have put on 50 pounds. My current weight as of an hour ago is 220 and I feel devastated. I know I can only blame myself.
I was vegan for 4 years and although being vegan didn't make me lose weight, it did help.
After the surgery, my life crumbled. I lost my apartment, my car, and my savings account depleted. I had ended my abusive relationship with help from the police and since that day, fell into an awful depression. I began eating whatever I wanted. This means fast food every day.
I'm definitely doing a lot better. I moved from Miami to Bradenton with a man that actually respects me and treats me amazing. I still have been eating terribly but today I am done, and I mean it.
I know this post was awfully personal but I am DONE with living my life this way! I deserve better and my body deserves better. The first step is putting everything out on the table and being honest.
