Me MS SJ .. I am an emotional eater
I am married with two children and for majority their childhood I forgot about me and put all energy into them and put on a huge amount of weight.
Not a good excuse but it seemed to be true.
At 105 kg was told I would be a diabetic if I didn't do something - 8 years ago went on Ultra-lite plan - basically an Aitkins diet and quickly lost 15 kilos. Kept it off. (yay) and I felt slim at 90-92 but really I wasn't - hovered at 85-92 for years and then decided I really need to be realistic and my healthy weight should be more like 72 kilos.
On that journey now. :-)
