I got over weight by a similiar way. I grew up on a farm, but I was always in and out of hospitals. Then stopped being and got better, and I was able to eat. I'm still in the process of loosing those hard to get off pounds. Recently, I just noticed I dropped a size. (I'm a round 180 was almost to 200, but it looked worse). I am now down to a medium size shirt. What I do...1) I don't diet. 2) A vast majority of my meals are laden down with fruit (I hate veggies except corn and peas.) 3) I occassionally indulge in pizza till my stomach wants to burst. (Then I don't eat any for a month or so.) I still drink coffee. I do have a Vitamix blender which helps a lot. Cause I drink a blended pitcher of juice almost every other day in one afternoon. But I only buy store bought stuffs about once or twice a way, and I stay away from places that make me want to do nothing but nibble. My parents office makes me just want to eat non-stop, but my room I never really eat in it. I know this is probably a really old post, but I'm reading it today. I hope this helps another person who is reading it today. Thanks, hope you try a vitamix they're really worth the investment. (Not a seller just a fan.)
