My weight was stablized until 10 years ago when my work atmosphere and situation began to deteriorate. Nobody would listed to my harassment complaints. A supervisor threatened me to "get me" twice in public and, a third time, he had a plan: He said he would "bring in a gun and blow me away" Well, this was in 2000 and I fell apart had a breakdown.
The extreme stress had me gaining weight as I took various Depression meds and I no longer cared if I lived or died. Long story short, I qualified for a disability, hid from the supervisor by moving to Oklahoma to be with my family. I have been fighting my way back to "normal" or functioning in society. I have been diagnosed as Bipolar, Depressed, Anxiety attacks, and PTSD. I have been on my couch being ill for 7 years all the time gaining weight. Nothing I tried would help me lose it.
Asthma meds with steroids didn't help my weight either.
Now, I am well enough to take charge of my life and I want to be a functioning adult. I hope to lose enough weight to play with my grandchildren and travel with my extended family.
So, my motto is Taking charge of my life and losing to win!
