I am 47. I am now 220 lbs. I am disgusted with myself and can't seem to lose weight. In fact, when I try to lose weight, I gain more! I have had eating issues since college... tried the purge thing but it never worked- I never lost enough that way. I have yoyoed up and down weight wise for all of my adult life.
I have gained steadily over the last 10 years from 135 lbs. I was once 109 (too thin but loved it) back in 1996 from Phen/Fen. Phen/Fen helped me not think of food and obsess about it. I ate because I was hungry. I ate to live and now I live to eat as trite as it sounds. Had to go off the drugs of course once Fenfluramine was pulled. I try to exercise but it is sooo much harder now than when I was lower weight. Fat gets in the way. I am married to a wonderful man, have an awesome teenage son, two cute doggies... but still once I start eating I don't want to stop.
I don't really have a question... just wanted to put it out here and see if anyone else feels this way or knows a new diet pill (LOL). This is scary to write all this... but feels safer then other places.
