There was a healthy girl who was 137lbs and 5'10

She got very sick and eating cake made her happy, so cake she did eat.

The girls immune system went all crazy and made her sick and then made her throat close the doctors all shook their heads :noway: and said 'time for really bad drugs.' The girl was so sad she ate more cake and as she got bigger and her hair got smaller so when she went out she added fake hair to her own hair and floaty clothes.

Then the girl got even more sick always with infections and throat closing all the time. And the drugs weren't enough so the doctors said 'more drugs, lots more drugs to make the swelling go away and they attacked the girls immune system with 50 pills a day.

The girl ate more cake and gave up trying to look nice. The drugs made her look different and she ate more cake and went up to 190lbs which made her look more different still. Soon she stopped caring what she looked like at all. Then her friends walked by her in the street. :sad: they didn't recognise her anymore.

The girl was very sad. She decided to change her life. She gave up working-she wasn't superwoman. She told the doctors NO MORE BAD DRUGS!!!! She found an alternative way of dealing with her health, still hard but less than before and with less side effects. She decided to lose some weight.

So she worked away trying to lose some weight and she got her weight down to 182lbs. Then she remembered about the mfp app on her phone. So she started logging in and going onto the website for help and support. She start losing a lot more, a lot quicker and she noticed her hair coming back more and more.

Now she's down to 167lbs and feeling a whole lot better.

She wants to get down to 145 ish but she's happy even now.

She was in town and walked by some friends. They stopped her to talk- She was recognised again!!!! :smile:
