| Hello and my intro..
Hello
I have searching for a forum like this for so long and this really seems supportive and very friendly. I have battled weight most of my life but I hav ehad some slim years also. A nightmare happened to me when I had actually gotten down to a nice size...I got a very rare illness call Cushings which is cause by a tumor on the adrenals or pituitary causing steroids in the body. Even on 800 calaries a day I was gaining weight. I gained a 100 pounds in one year and it took awhile until I was diagnosed. I had surgery and immediately began losing weight afterwards as much of the swelling had come down. I turned to food agin when I was faced with alot of stress and now have alot to lose again. Through this group I hope to share more and more and to learn from others here also. Thank you for letting me join. cherie |
