I am so impressed with the support shown in these discussions! I am not normally a person who writes on them, but I know I need some advice and support this time.
Here is my BRIEF story. .
I am 43 years old, professional mother of one wonderful 20 year old son. I have been single by choice
since he was 8 months old. I come from an overweight family, so it is a daily struggle for me. I am on anti depressants wellbutrin (10 years)and effexor (6 years), ad well as hormone cream(2 years). I maintained my normal weight 130-145 lbs for about 16 years after my son was born. I was never "happy" with my weight. but not ashamed. In 1997 I had a hysterectomy, and in 2001 I had the ovary that was left removed due to endometreosis. Since then, my weight has been UNMOVABLE!!!!!!! I gained 25 lbs almost immediatly. (1 month or so). Since then I have been on weight watchers, starvation, and every diet pill known to humans. NOTHING works! I am very commited to this program, so I will be honest and ask all of you for support and advice as I go through this. I weight 167 today and want to get back to 135 -140. I admit to being VERY depressed, and not real motivated to excersise, as NOTHING has made a difference. It is hard to be motivated when you cannot have even slight success. I am really, really struggling. If someone? or more than one person? that has struggled could "hold my hand" through this it would mean the world to me. I have so many questions but If I am fortunate enough to have you still reading after all of this whining, I do not want to add any more! I will ask my questions at another time!
God bless you all for hearing me, and I look forward to all of your advise!
