my weight loss

Hi everyone, My name is Jessica. My doctor suggested this site to help me lose weight because I am very overweight. I used to be the perfect weight so coming to grips with this has been really hard and for some reason, I think that it is magically going to come off like it used to when I was in my 20s. I don't think that anymore. It first started when I got pregnant with my daughter, although I didn't gain much weight then. After she was born, I was put on seroquel, if anyone knows what that is, it causes extreme weight gain, something the doctor should of told me but didn't. It can make you gain a excess of 100 pounds which is what happened to me. Then I started to have more medical and other personal problems. I quit smoking, and then I developed hypothyroidism, I have sleep apnea now, I had a hysterectomy, I ate when I could raising my daughter on my own. There is probably more, I know that I had alot that I will probably share later. I am just getting started in this and I am hoping that with more support that I will be able to do this.
