A bit about me

A few people know about my past, these are people I class as true friends who I have no secrets from. A lot of people ask me about why I am like this and what is wrong with my legs etc so I have decided to tell you all a little bit more about me.
All my life I have been overweight but I was always active, always worked, always had a good social life, used to run youth club for disabled kids 3 nights a week etc, then just over ten years ago I had an accident at work and developed a condition called Lymphoedema in both of my legs. I carried on working against doctor’s orders for nearly 4 years which made the condition worse, but at the time my mom was ill with the same condition and mine was the only income so I had no choice. Anyway six year ago the company I was working for went bankrupt and I was made redundant. In some ways this was a good thing because mom needed me round a lot more as she could do less and less for herself. I guess we both turned to food for comfort and over the years I piled the weight on.
Four years ago my mom died, a side effect of her Lymphoedema, a blood clot travelled from her leg and blocked one of her lungs. One day I might tell you the whole story; it’s a day I will never forget.
The week after mom died out local council been the wonderful people they are decided I was not eligible to stay in the house I had lived in all my life and gave me a month to find somewhere else.
In the space of a month my whole life changed, no mom, no house, no family to speak of but I got a flat and tried to stay positive but the need for that comfort was still there, I dread to think how many take aways I have had over the space of the past four years, I don’t even enjoy them any more, but I get a buzz for a few minutes then hate myself, food has become my drug of choice and has lead me to where I am today, morbidly overweight, depressed and pretty much housebound.
Now is the time to change, I have to, there are no magic cures, only I can do this.
