I'm 37 and have struggled with my weight since high school. I can lose on my own when I clamp down and really restrict myself but this has led to a lifetime of yoyo dieting. I hit 262lbs when my uncle died of a heart attack. I lost 64lbs after that and then over the next six years I ballooned up to 300. Over the next two years I got back down to 212lbs. As of October 28th 2024 I'm back up to 235lbs.

I always think about food. I'm a binge/stress eater. I love BBQing and baking. I'm hoping I can change my relationship with food moving forward as my family history for heart problems is EXTENSIVE.

I'm on Losartan Potassium and a water pill for my high blood pressure.
My grandmother died of an aortic aneurism

My uncle died of a heart attack
Another uncle survived his heart attack but lost a foot.
