This is my story
Well where do I begin!! I am 55 years old. I used to be very thin around 8 stone for most of my life until I hit about 45, started getting ovarian cysts and started on hormone treatment. I travel a lot cos my husband is in the German Air Force (I was born in Ireland, brought up in South London and have lived in Germany for around 20 yrs). We moved to SHAPE and I stopped going out to work and over the last ten years my weight has gone right up to 11 stone 10lbs. I have been going to WW here in Germany and lost about a stone and a half, but since I stopped going (they put their price up and I refuse to pay EURO 11.50 to be weighed each week and told to exercise and drink water!! My group is 80 women and you cannot get individual help, which is what I need) my weight is creeping back up again as I am a yoyo dieter. I am getting afraid to eat and cannot believe I could be developing an eating disorder at my age!! Fat makes me feel ugly and old!! All I want is to eat like a normal person and enjoy my life, but my weight is getting in the way. I am a size 16/18 and I used to be a size 12!! I have no illusions of being 18 again and a size 8!! . Everywhere you look, there is ADVICE about slimming and EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY. I seem to be taken to the cleaners by everyone who merrily run off to the bank, while I and so many others, yoyo back and forth with the weight. If I had a fiver for each pound I have lost (and regained) over the last 15 years I would be a very rich lady indeed!!
