09/23/2011. I need to end this. This is a fight to live with flavor and vitality.
I am 36 yrs old. I have been married 10 years this past July. I have 2 children from my first marriage, and 4 with my husband, for a total of 6 children. I have been overweight my entire adult life. I have also struggled with depression since I was a teen. My depression highs coinside with my weight gain, and I do alot of emotional eating. My top weight was about 245. A few years ago my mom introduced me to a way of eating called Natural Hygiene. The book I read that introduced me to this is called Fit For Life by Harvey & Marilyn Diamond. I have always been a large eater. My family use to call me hollow leg because about 20-30 minutes after eating a meal I would want to eat again, which I now contribute to the low nutrient foods I must have been eating. Whenever I've done this diet I have gotten down to around 170. I will go all the way this time, and really will make this my lifestyle. Right before I got pregnant with my last daughter I ate vegan for 1 month and then raw vegan for 2 months. I really enjoy it, but my husband and children don't really join me in eating this way. So there are still temptations all around me.
I am a divorced mom of a 20 year old daughter who lives far away in California and a 15 year old son who is with me most of the time. I have been moderately overweight my whole life. I weigh about 199 right now. I had stabilized at about 175 for several years, but then when I got divorced, I stopped exercising. I suppose I ate a little more comfort food too. In the last 8 years or so, I learned to listen to my body much better as far as hunger signals go, but I still give in to emotional eating, particularly when I'm tired. I have been a poor example for my son lately, being lazy with food preparation and "rewarding" both of us with unhealthy foods. And since moving my mother near me 18 months ago, I'm acutely aware of what my future holds if I don't take charge of my health. I also have a boyfriend who has multiple sclerosis, and I'm very interested in the possible relationship between food intolerance and autoimmune diseases. So.....for me and my guys, I'm ready to make some changes.
