Reply #129: My story of weight gain

[ChickMagic]

I suffer from chronic pain due to spinal arthritis and osteoporosis. I used to be 5'7" but now I'm 5'6". My weight dropped precipitously to double digits. In order to try to gain weight, I started each morning with a scone and sugary coffee. My weight has ballooned to 135 pounds. Now, that may seem normal for my height, but I gained it around my middle. My clothes don't fit anymore and I need to lose 10 pounds. Problem is, now I'm hooked on cinnamon scones.

I think this has a lot to do with obesity. Sugar is addictive and it will put on pounds in a hurry. It's going to be hard to kick the pastry habit and I imagine it would be hard for anyone to do so.
