Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 My name is Jeanne, am 58 years old and live in Georgia. My weight has always been a source of concern and, I guess, obsession for me, thinking my life would be perfect if I'd just lose weight. My fat body was the problem and not my thoughts and feelings. I began dieting when I was about 13, going from starving, to Atkins to Weight Watchers. My husband and I were unable to have children I think in part because of all the abuse I did to myself over the years, which I believe led to an early menopause. Because of high blood pressure and my doctor's recommendation that I lose weight, I went to Weight Watchers in 2007 and lost about 40 pounds. The year I was on maintenance was agonizing because I not only looked terrible but always inside I felt I was at war with myself, always one meal short of starting a binge. And the crazy thing is the weight loss didn't help my blood pressure one iota. Then this summer due to some personal issues, I gave in and started overeating. Right now I weigh about a 170. After hearing about IE back in the 90's, I recently picked up the book again and found this website. I give up! Dieting just doesn't work for me!
