I came across something really scary: a record of my weight from 2001 through 2003. I started at 292 in December of 2001. However I was down to 285 by mid January; only to blossom back up by the end of the year. My last recorded weight in 2002, early December, was 292. Then I became my heaviest. I started 2003 at 298. That is just gross. That is the most I have weighed my entire life. That is 100 pounds above the obese line. I recorded that by the end of 2003 I was back to 285. I have continued a mostly downward spiral, with significance periods of getting stuck. I am half of the way to the obese line--in other words I am 50 pounds lighter than my heaviest with another 50 to go.
What have been the consequences. I have diabetes and tinnitus, and sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Weight is a contributing factor in all these areas. I hope when I am no longer obese--some of these health issues will be resolved. I would be grateful if just one or two would improve and I not have to take so many medications.
