Updated 1/1/23: I am 81 years old, have been married for 61 years, and live in the Los Angeles area in our home for 52 years. I have yo-yo dieted my entire adult life, even gaining up to 5 sizes one year, and then losing it the next. Although when I started here at around 118 my weight was fine, I needed this for health: mental as well as physical. I live a high-stress life and have a very bad back. Even when I am binging I still do Intermittent Fasting 16/8 about 99% of the time and this is what has kept me at a reasonable weight. My name should be yo-yo. My 86-year-old husband has heart failure, COPD, kidney disease, and uses oxygen and a c-pap. Our 2 adult children have passed, the most recently our lovely daughter died 2 months ago of cancer. My husband is becoming continually more abusive but can't live alone so my intention is to take care of him as long as I can. If you had a disabled child wouldn't you do everything you could to care for them? Few understand my commitment. He will die if put in jail or a "home". The only way he would stay in a "home" is to be drugged and tied down. That's what they did in the hospital. He would go mad, I would. We have a small cabin in the mountains so do not qualify for Medicaid anyway.
