Hello Everyone, My name is Melissa and I am a 28 year old stay at home Mom to a wonderful baby boy who will be 1 next month. I found this site and wanted to see if I could connect with any other women who are in the same boat as I am. I have battled my issues with food all of my life and have been skinny, chubby and heavy numerous times. I've realized after 28 years that I am not going to lose weight permanently until I learn how to have a normal relationship with food, which most of us know is easier said than done. I have though about using XLS Medical tablets to help with my weight loss. Anyone here used them before?
I want to be able to eat when I am physically hungry and not emotionally hungry. I have used food to help myself cope with stress and other issues they way an alcoholic uses vodka. I am about 40 pounds over weight, the heaviest I have ever been and I am sad to say none of it is from being pregnant, I lost 20 before I got preg and gained 30 during it. I eat nearly perfectly while I was preg for fear I would hurt my baby and so I would not gain even more weight then I needed to.
I am afraid of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, all which run in my family. I want to have my energy back and be able to play with my son without getting tired so fast, I think the XLS Medical will help with this. But I am more afraid of not being able to feel good in life without food there at my side. It's sounds so pathetic as I read that to myself but It's my stress and emotional relief. I don't know how to cope without it, and I am not sure I can. I have never felt to powerless to food as I do at this point in my life. I needed to get all of this off of my chest and hope I have helped someone else feel better by relating to my story.
