but have been gone a long time.
Long story short; I went down to 165 lbs, which for me, at 5'6" and in my 40's wasn't bad. Was I super thin? No, but I could basically do and wear what I wanted and felt great at that weight. I was doing over an hour of cardio and keeping up as well as taking a karate class for 90 minutes and had no issues. Right after that, my ex of over 10 years walked out on us and asked for a divorce. In the last 2 years, I have put on about 60 lbs. Needless to say, I am not happy about this.
Today, our marital issues have been dealt with and it's all about the kids. I went through some mild depression for a good stint and ate to make myself feel better. I somehow ended up dislocating my shoulder and had to go to physical therapy for a few months. I was told not to exercise so I could rest and not risk further injuring my shoulder. That gave me another excuse to be lazy and eat. I have finished the treatment and am sick of not having control over my weight. I have always watched what I ate and been very active. I feel really disappointed in myself and just want to regain control over my own body and every other aspect of my life that my weight has impacted.
In the past everyone here was very supportive and I am hoping this has not changed as I take another go at it
