At 6 years old I was an emaciated child, then I was removed from my poor situation.  It was then that my weight problems started.  More than ample food, including raw milk, beef steak, and other such "old world" foods in old world quantities.  I was active, but by the time I graduated highschool I weighed in at about 150....then I married and began having children.  I am one of those unlucky ones whose Thyroid quit working after a pregnancy, and after three ful term pregnancies and two or three miscarriages I had permanent thyroid disease.  Added to the fact that I love every type of food that is now considered "BAD" for  your health, an adiction to chocolated , and the fact that I have extremely little will power, and you know the rest of the story!  I am currently, June 2011, at over 300 pounds, have NO energy and a host of health problems that weight loss will help.
