Canada entry #67

[Doug Varrieur]

I read your article in THE CALGARY SUN in Calgary, Alberta.

Throughout the years I have always thought I was way overweight. Now I wish I weighed as much as I did when I started worrying about weight gain. And at that time I only weighed 145 (although when I got married at age 23, in 1965, I had diet pills prescribed by a doctor and weighed 128 lbs).

I am 68 years old now and have gained most of my weight in the past 12-15 years. I am 5'4-1/2" tall and weight 232 lbs.

My husband is always buying baked goods such as cookies, cinnamon buns, cakes, pies ... and I've told him to STOP buying that crap.

I have tons of clothes and very few that fit. I am disgusted with myself when I look in the mirror.

I NEED HELP, PLEASE.

Thank you.

Mrs. J.
