    We are a few years apart, but age is just a number. I am sorry for the lost of your sister, but you do need to find a way to pull yourself together. You have to pick yourself up, brush off and plow fwd. I know, I have dealth with alot of loss in my life, mother, sister father, so you see I know how you feel. It will get better but only if you put forth effort, push yourself and get modivated. You will have alot of support on MFP.

    Ive been doing the whole exercise change of lifestyle thing now for about 40 days (i hit 100kg and hated myself for it) - if you can persist and get into a routine it does get easier - like you - i had a slow metabolism, high cholestorol and blood pressure, but its starting to get a bit better and easier to do this whole exercise thing.

    Sorry to hear about your sister as well... when times get hard your faced with a choice - dwell and feel sorry for yourself, or get up and live life. Its not always easy to pull yourself off the ground but the way i looked at it, when things are down its better to be positive and give others around you strength, than be negative and pull others down.

    From my heart i wish you luck!

    My dad passed last year and I put on 20lbs since then. It took a lot of work in my head to get myself to care about me again and all the hard work I put into making myself healthier before he passed. I finally just said that enough is enough. If I don't make a stand now I will gain back all the weight I lost and swore to myself I'd never have to lose again. You are worth the time and effort.
