Greetings...inspired by others' journals here, I thought I'd give it a go.
I'm 52 yrs old. I have been overweight all my life starting around the age of 10 I'd say. I've always been self-conscious of my body & weight. I've tried EVERYTHING. My parents sent me to "fat camp" when I was about 12 yrs old. I've tried weight watchers, exercise, low calorie/low fat, South Beach etc...in my 30s I had gastric bypass surgery. I have a huge scar on my stomach from under my breast going down the center of my torso down to my belly button. Yes, I lost weight, got down to around 180 lbs. The skinniest I've been in my adult life.
Kept it off a few years & then over time put weight on again. I needed brain surgery to change my mind about food...not stomach surgery. I gained a lot of weight back. Was in an unhappy 25 yr marriage (he thought everything was great). I started to lose weight on my own. During this time I divorced him. Lost quite a bit of weight from the stress of divorce. Was unintentionally doing omad without knowing it & kept losing. Over time & being in another short, bad relationship, I broke that off & I started to not care again & started just eating crap. I just didn't care. I gained weight again which brought me to finding OMAD.
I've been doing it since the first of the year. I started at 282#. I'm currently down to 272#. I eat my meal around 2-3pm. I know I could probably do better but I do like to have dessert. I like this woe because it's very freeing for me & I'm not tied down to counting calories. I eat one meal & I'm done.
Thank you for having me. I look forward to sharing my progress.
