I have never had a weight problem before. I was always thin and short 5'1'. Then I gained 40 lbs when my doctors changed my birth control. I topped off at 144. A bit chunkier than I expected. When my daughter got married I wanted to get rid of 20 lbs in 6 months. I lost 3 lbs. Then I had cancer and lost 8 lbs. Didn't stay gone for long. Last year I had a stroke and went off the birth control. I have been losing weight all year. First I talked to my doctor who was concerned for other health reasons. Now it's become alarming. I am trying to eat but it's been difficult. It's hard to find people with this problem when so much focus is on Americans being obese.
