My job was a physical job in the warehouse ,lots of walking ,bending and lifting so I was ok in my thirties and mid forties. The the wife had major back surgery was in a bed in the living room upper body cast etc, and while she was in the early stages of recovery at home I slept right next to her becuase there was medicine issues such as one every four or every six hours some on full some on empty stomach type things so I would sleep when she did I would eat when she would and in a three month period I went from 240 to 275 but felt I was able to handle it. She got better and I lost some weight and then it started .I got a different job in the warehouse , a less active one and I lost weight and gain back twice as much after about 15 years I was way ,way over weight...over 300 but I retired and it comes off much slower than it went on. I walk every day now anywhere from 4 to 6 miles a day and eat better.I have dropped about 32 pounds but still have a long way to go.
