I have just realised that all these years, I blamed my medication. I had to take steroids first for my asthma problem, next for my migraines etc etc. and I always blamed my steroids for my weight problem. I made a record of historical weights I remember and jotting down:
2001 119
2002 154
2003 176
2004 187
2005 200
2006 196
2007 202
2008 209
2009 216
2010 230
2011 240
2012 240
Pretty much what I realised after jotting down is that I had weight issues while I took steroids and also while I did not take them.

It was a dawning moment. I also realised the area gap I went down durng 2005-06 was my freshman year at college and I pretty much lead an active life. Keeping these thoughts down on a forum like this makes me feel as if I am fessing up and feel better. I am going to stop blaming things and staring doing things. Happy to report a new weigh in 230lbs. :D

Good for you! That is a big and important change for you. I used to blame my thyroid disease but decided plenty of people lose weight with thyroid disease - and you can lose even with medications!
