Well, I don't know what to say...I'm 36 years old, weigh 287. At my heaviest, I was 302. That 15 pounds has gone away over about a year. Growing up, I was always thin. Even as a baby, I was thin. I didn't have any baby fat (I'm making up for lost time!!!) and I was not healthy. When I was a teenager, I was told by others that I was too chunky. Looking back at pictures now, I see how full of poop they were! I was thin! Around 17, I started to gain weight. I was having a lot of problems with depression and anxiety. Anxiety is the worst...I eat a lot when I'm anxious. I was so stressed out and sad. I ate a lot of junk food. By the time I was 20, I was 210 pounds. When I was 16, I was 130. That's frightening!!! I joined TOPS and lost 40 pounds. I was sooooo unhealthy and unhappy. I looked like death warmed over. Quite frankly, I would rather be where I am now than ever go back to feeling like I did then. Of course, at the time, I didn't realize that depression was playing with my head. It wasn't until I was 23 that the doctor finally used the word "depression" to tell me what was wrong with me. Anyway, I am feeling better, mentally, but there are still issues that keep me from getting my butt in gear and losing weight. I hope to get some motivation here and maybe it will help to see that others struggle too.
