I've been obese since before I was a year old and have lost and gained literally hundreds of pounds over my lifetime. I easily lost more than 100 pounds in 2003-2004 controlling my carbs, then I got pregnant and had a son(a true blessing since for years I thought I'd never have a child). Lots of stress and changes and depression over the last six years and I've gained lots of weight.
I do suffer from chronic debilitating back pain and my mobility is limited because of it. Losing weight before did not improve it but maybe this time it will. I also have insulin resistance and pcos so controlling my carb levels helps to control my insulin levels.
With the help of God, my depression has been lifted and I feel more hopeful than I have for 3 or 4 years. So now I am going to be better at looking after me.
