The first time I ever knew weight was an issue was when I was 12. We moved to a new city and the school nurse called my mother in for a consultation. The issue was my size, 5'11" and I was already 200lbs. From then on Mom took me to diet doctors for pills and shots, fitness centers and told everyone "for God sake do not give her and junk food". I know she meant well but it always stung.
Moving forward after entering an eating disorder clinic I found out that food was my drug. I eat and eat until I feel numb. My weight at it highest was 600lbs with diet I got down to 295lbs but it never lasted. I have been fluctuating ever since.
For the last 3 years I have been fighting cancer and in order to fit in the MRI machines I needed to loose weight. I managed to get down to 300lbs eating a 2000 calories low sodium (500mg) diet a day. That worked well for 2 years and then I tried to add the Bright Line Eating plan to my already strict diet. Yep, I crashed and burned big time. I fell off the success wagon and went into a deep depression. I no longer fit in the MRI machine so I stopped seeing my Oncologist and Radiologists. Keeping my fingers crossed the Cancer hasn't come back. I am ready to give this another go. Wish me luck
