38. Good luck to you.

I do not know your age or your diet history.

I, unfortunately, started dieting way too early in life, and never gave up the fantasy of being thin--so thin that somehow, I would magically be thin forever.

All that happened was that I became temporally thin, numerous times, and then gained back the weight, plus more.

I lost, in total, over 500 pounds in my life, and gained back 510, plus whatever else I accumulated from pregnancy, etc.

At this point I seem to be at a weight my body is content to be, because I no longer gain weight.

Before, if I was not dieting, I was gaining weight. I could never buy a dress for an event a few weeks in the future, because I never knew what I would weight then.

Once I gave up dieting, I have been the same size for ten years.

So, while I wish you the best, I also hope that you can be content with whatever size your body wants to be.
