Hello!!

My fat journey began in 2007 where a combination of severe grief after a tragic loss and a very serious respiratory infection acquired abroad had me thrown on potent medications-Paroxetine and Prednisone.In three months I had put on almost 60 lbs. This was devastating as I was eating no differently,however during the time on the meds I had wild blood sugar swings which made me crave carbs and sweets quite seriously.I would pass out or get double vision if I did not get something sugary/starchy. Prior to that I had no sugar in the house and rarely indulged in carbs other than oatmeal. I weighed 48 kg before I got fat. I had sustained this weight easily for a decade-,even after childbirth,on a vegan low carb diet.I never felt I was dieting.I was eating what I wanted,and only craved healthy snacks.Now I still eat this way, but I have about 35 kg to lose.It has been so hard to shake it off.But I need to just buckle down and do it! I say this every year, to no avail really...but my body just can't cope with being this large...and it has killed my love life!!XO
