Well it's been about 2 years since I have taken accountability for my health and I have gained nearly all of my weight back. I have been a yo-yo dieter since the age of 13. I weighed 139 pounds when I started my first "diet" 30 years ago. I got down to around 115 pounds were I stayed for about 5 minutes! I "dieted" my way on up to my highest weight of 310 pounds.

Well it's been about 2 years since I have taken accountability for my health and I have gained nearly all of my weight back. I have been a yo-yo dieter since the age of 13. I weighed 139 pounds when I started my first "diet" 30 years ago. I got down to around 115 pounds were I stayed for about 5 minutes! I "dieted" my way on up to my highest weight of 310 pounds. I have lost weight using many diet principals as they have come into popularity over the years including: starvation, diet pills, laxatives, extreme low-fat, binge/purge, no-carb, low-carb, food combining, and strict calorie counting. Everything I tried worked to some degree but only in the short term. The only thing I accomplished long term was an unhealthy, guilt-ridden relationship with food and my body. I can't remember a time when I didn't value my worth by the size of my pants or the number on a scale. I would like to take a moment now and apologize to myself. I have never deserved the punishment I have heaped on myself. I am sorry I allowed myself to fall prey to discrimination against myself; for avoiding so many experiences because of my fear of what other people would think of me and my size. I am sorry and I will treat myself kinder.
