When I graduated from high school, I was up to about 240. Then went
the other way, suffering the same thing, but stopped at about 156 or
so. Fought it for almost ten years. Looking in the mirror now, it
could be said that I'm "cured", but maybe physically, but the "need to
lose weight" is definitely there. In the past few years, I bopped back
up to 240 again, but have been getting that under control very
carefully.
