I am a 31 yr old step mum of two teenagers, and have been with my boyfriend for 10yrs. I feel part of my weight problem has steamed from the fact that when I was 13 I had a Liver transplant and was required to take alot of antirejection medication, including steroids for over 10yrs.
Although I no longer take any medication, which is almost unheard of. I think being 13, a important point of my development I was required to take such physically damaging medication effect my metabolism forever making it hard to shift the weight that I gained after the operation.
I gain 30kg in 2 months because of them. I don't regret this event but do wish it hadn't effected my physical appearance so much.

I love my new life but want to like myself more than I do.
