Fighting the fight against bulimia.

I read this, quite a bit here, but I'm 5'9" 150, and I can't remember anyone ever commenting on my size. I feel pretty normal. I even read that was the average height and weight of guys that enlisted in ww2. Who are these people commenting on your weight all the time?

6'2" 180 with a high school six pack never work out, eat whole large pizzas and boxes of oreos. 37 years old. yes everyone hates me. it will catch up to me one day!

Beer

Ethanol and fructose

It used to be hypothyroidism. Once that was diagnosed and treated, I lost weight without really trying.

I was overweight about twelve years ago. I was thirty pounds over weight. I felt miserable and even tried that Slim Fast diet. That particular diet was a waste of time. My neighbor belonged to Weight Watchers and she wanted me to go to a meeting with her. I had the stupid idea that only women went to Weight Watchers so I kept on telling her that I didn't want to go. I finally broke down and went to a meeting with her. They had many men at the meeting. The speaker was very entertaining. When the meeting was over I went home. I started to think what the woman at the meeting said. What she said made a lot of sense to me. I went to the next meeting and I joined WW. The WW plan is definitely not a diet. You can eat candy and ice cream and pizza. You can eat the foods that you like but you have to modify them. I shed all of the pounds off. I no longer belong to WW but I definitely follow the plan that I learned when I was a member. I've kept the weight off and I learned an important lesson. I learned to never eat large amounts of fat free and sugar free food. I once ate a large amount of sugar free chocolate. Late that night my neighbor had to bring me to the hospital. I thought that I had food poisoning. I had the runs all day and night. The doctor told me the cause of my illness. I over ate my bag of sugar free candy. I lost six pounds that day.
