I am not sure where to start with my "story" so I will just jump right in. My starting weight was 350 pounds. My goal weight is 160 pounds, after a lot of hard work that includes exercise, reschooling myself on nutrition, changing my eating habits and some health issues I got down to 170 pounds! That is ten away from my goal weight.
When I was placed on new medication. That made me gain fifty pounds! This made me SO depressed after all I accomplished, and I'll be honest I got stuck in that depression and emotional eating habit again gaining ANOTHER twenty pounds.
But now that I have danced around in self pity long enough I am back to my healthy "habits" and am going to lose the weight again. I figured joining a forum where others are struggling to drop pounds would help keep me motivated and I could learn along the way.
My health issues are digestive/stomach related so going back to my healthy eating habits will help calm down my issues. ( Crohns disease among other issues including ulcers, various surgeries and my digestive track has been "rearranged" making for my body to be difficult to work with!)
So I am aimming to get back into a happy "flow" of my body being happy with what I am fueling it with and to drop the pounds so I not only feel better physically, but mentally.
I'm in Massachusetts and with spring coming I would like to be able to enjoy the nice weather and get back to feeling better about myself.
If you read all of that thank you!
