In 2002, I began my weightloss journey. I had reached my top weight of 335 pounds. I lost 50 pounds in 2002, and by August 2003, I had lost 100 pounds. By the end of 2004, I had lost another 50 pounds. I had gone down to a weight of 169 and have hovered between 175 and 195 for 4 years! Between 2007 and 2010 I struggled with learning to manage my binge-behavior, acknowledged my clinical depression, and possible hypomanic behavior. I gained 15 pounds back by the end of 2010. I want to lose 50 pounds by August 30, 2011, approximately 25 weeks from now. I can do it! I have got to stop fearing meeting my goal weight. I want to succeed at this, and I will succeed at it.
