The Past

I am Suzette.  When I think of who I am, I think Mother, Grandmother...and then 'Fat' comes to mind.  Not just fat but morbidly obese.  My goodness, those words sound much worse than just fat.  Three years ago, I weighed 400 lbs.  If you were to ask me how I let myself get that big the answer would be simple.  I LOVE TO EAT!  I find comfort in food, food just tastes really good to me.

My husband passed away in 2010 and after a bout with depression (or maybe during) I started working on losing weight.  It was sooo easy!  I drank a shake for breakfast, one for lunch, ate a healthy choice meal for supper and started walking.  I just started shedding the pounds!  During that time, I thought "This is so easy.  Why didn't I try to lose weight before now?"  I lost 70 lbs in 2010 and 2011...and then I met someone.

So there I was... happy, content, and I quit losing weight.  I've been stuck for 2 years.  Something has got to give!
