It is a lot of hard work and will power. I was on a 1500 calorie diet as a 5 grader and lost 33 lbs. I had to weigh my food. It takes life changes to keep it off. Mom has had Fibromyalgia for many years. She is 88 and suffers a lot of pain in walking. You know 40 years ago you never heard of Fibromyalgia. You're looking good. @reddust.

@enjoywithtroy, if you ever have a weight problem as an adult all you have to do is remember your success as a kid, you are so lucky to have parents that helped you. Because of my success in the past finding my health and losing weight, every time my body changes and I have to change my eating habits it has become easier to move on and change.
So many children are obese today, its crazy, kids can free range and eating anything they want any time they want. Food has never been so accessible to humanity and obesity is a global epidemic, plus most of us have no choice to buy cheap food. I have experienced by interacting with people in my life outright hostility because I eat for my health and not for pleasure. I found people are very attached to their favorite foods and will react violently if challenged, it's kinda of scary.
The medication I was taking for fibro made me gain weight, screwed up my gut health and my thyroid, which made my symptoms worse. I was shocked when I read my medication's side effects, which were worse than the symptoms I was suffering!
I think most immune issues are related to the toxic environment we live in, from electromagnetic energy from our digital world, our medicine, our food, our manufactured goods, and the most important, our social systems. The traditional family and community systems are falling apart, but I have read this has been happening forever, it is a profitable business model sewing the seeds of sickness and dysfunction.
