I was on a toxic level of Lithium, being poisoned and thinking it was my husband and his ex-wife (living in the basement of our house, or so I thought but she was really in CA). I was taping water bottles shut, drawing around the tape in Sharpie, and taking pictures so when I woke up in the morning, I could see no one got in the water first to poison it. I was eating anything I could get my hands on...mostly fast food since I knew it was safe. This went on for weeks until I stopped taking all my medications, carried a butcher knife around the house, and gained 80 lbs back. I was still eating small amounts but the wrong foods so it didn't matter if it were the right amounts or not. I was back to using food as my drug. I've come back for support and have dropped from 280 down to 225 and still working on it. My 30 year old daughter just had the sleeve in the states and I want to be totally there for her. I got her interested into this site, and hopefully she will take a look and meet some friends.
Ok, so now back to my story. I'm doing liquid shakes and salads. Limited fruits, veggies. I was my happiest at 160 lbs well really 157. If I could reach 175, that's the weight I remember in Jr High when the PE teacher lined all the students up to the scale and yelled out much they weighed in the 7th grade and yep...175 lbs was what I weighed in 7th grade. Laughs and snickers followed and I've never forgotten it. It scarred me for life. I know I were a 2x-3x pants and tops, other than that I don't know. I'm afraid to try any smaller sizes on. So, please don't become what I've turned my life into a blob of blubber. Stick with the program and it'll come and stay off.
TTyou soon coming up.
