How I did it after a lifetime of unhealthy eating

In March 2015 I weighed well over 200 lbs. and I am only 5'3". Growing up in the South everything my mother cooked had either butter sugar or bacon fat that's just the way they cooked. On March 6 I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital I was told that because I was so heavy that I had erosive gastritis and my liver was failing. Because my stomach was so bad everything I was eating was going directly into my liver. I had a fatty liver. Being faced with the alternative of losing weight or dying I decided to lose weight. I've tried every diet in the world for years and years and years and nothing worked out. I always felt like I was being deprived and i was always hungry. I decided that a diet was not what I needed when I needed to do was learn to eat healthier. My daughter was doing my fitness pal as was my brother and sister-in-law and niece and all of them were losing weight successfully. I went on my fitness pal I became their friends I begin tracking what I was eating at begin eating healthier and before you knew it I have lost 67 pounds since March and very proud of myself and I think I'm healthier now than I've been in my entire life I still have about 35 more pounds to go but I know that I can do it.
