I've been struggling with my weight since high school (8 years ago)
I got up to 315 lbs and started working my arse off at the gym. It took me 2 years, but I lost 80 lbs. I got down to 230 lbs and hit a plateau! I stayed at 230-240 up and down for all of 2012.
In 2013 I started gaining again. My weight crept back up to 275, then 285.
Now as of today, I am 258 lbs.
I'm "morbidly obese" according to my doctor.
But I am also anorexic. I was anorexic as a child, then blew up in high school.
My fiancee was killed October 4th, 2013, and because of this I have sunk into a deep depression. And a side effect is that I don't eat. When I do eat, it's junk food. For example today I have had nothing but a snack pack of doritos. Yesterday I had nothing but coffee, soda, and some cheese toast.
I have NO appetite... I've been logging MFP on my kindle every day. I only eat a couple times a day but what I do eat is just complete junk.
Do any of you have any suggestions???

I am so sorry for your loss. Too lose someone so close is so tough and will take time to deal with it. Maybe join a grief group; to see if that will help. Be gentle on yourself and one day at a time....hugs....
