Day 1

I've been overweight all of my life and gradually put more and more weight on as I got older. When I became ill, I gained over 100 lbs on a medication. I have yet to lose that weight in addition to the excess weight that I already had on my body.
Despite my appearance, I'm very health conscious and I love to learn about the latest health findings. Alternative health information is much more interesting to me than the traditional health care advice.
For months I have been trying to win over my willpower by living a raw food lifestyle. Many have lost an amazing amount of weight through this lifestyle, but I don't seem to have much luck sticking with that. In fact since becoming mentally ill, my willpower and determination has been weak. I'm not sure if it's the medications, the illness or a combination of both. I do know one thing. I'm am not giving up on this fight. This is my health and my life and I will win out.
