    It does depend on so many things I'd like to get into counselling or maybe a position where I can help young people or people in general to cope with things. As well as making them aware of the importance of looking after themselves and what effects it will have on them.

    Where did I go wrong . . .?

    I think it would be best to start off looking into and understanding more about weight loss. Maybe getting your confidence back and feeling in control will help.
