I am age 76. I know that God led me to the right doctor who found the real issues of what caused so much weight gain. My weight was over 300 lbs. She found that I had type 2 diabetes, an under active thyroid, and I was completely depleted of vitamin D. She got me on the right medication and diet, and the weight just melted off. I now weigh 110 pounds and have been able to keep it off. I started this journey to feel healthier, and in doing so, found out that I still had to overcome the low self-esteem issues. the right doctors who helped find the real issues of what caused so much weight gain and the right choices to lose the weight. The food craving was a symptom of something much deeper inside. I pray that my weight loss story will help anyone who is struggling with a poor self-image. You need to know that you are beautiful (or handsome if you are a guy) for who you are. Please don’t let anyone else’s opinion of you dictate how you should look. For seniors out there, you can still do this, and feel younger and healthier. I have kept it off for 7 years.
