So here it is, by popular demand. Ok, ok, you got me...one person demanded it, and I decided that was good enough for me
So what makes me think I am qualified to give advice? Well, I'm a woman, aren't I?
*Snicker*
I have been overweight most of my life. (After age 15 or so). At first I was simply overweight, then I moved on to obese, and finally into morbidly obese territory, reaching a high weight of 280 pounds on a 5'5" frame. I wore a size 30/32 top and 24/26 skirt.
I had tried lots of lots of diets and lost at least 20 pounds every year. Once as many as 50. But the results were always temporary, and I would gain back what I lost and then some.
In the next couple of posts, I will tell you some more of my story, and eventually what I did to lose the 84.6 pounds that I have lost so far. Please feel free to jump in with questions, thoughts, temptations, and to share your success as well as your failures.
