My story. Well that is a good one.lol  I like any other person was born an average weight baby.  When I was 3 or so it was obvious that I had a weight problem.  My parents fought a lot and I repressed that with eating it became my best friend.  I literally would sneak food in the middle of the night or I would do the dishes after a meal just so I could stuff my face more and more.  My parents split when I was 12 and we moved.  I was in 7th grade and trying to be a new kid at school is hard but to be the new fat kid at school is even harder.  I stuffed my emotions even more.  We moved 2 more times til we landed here in Missouri.  I hated school here at first I entered 8th grade in the middle of the year.  Now I was the new kid that was fat and everyone was ready to make fun of the new fat kid.  I ended up finishing school at this school.  My senior year of high school I could barely fit into the desk it was a really tight fit and when I graduated I weighed somewhere around 375 lbs.  By the time I was 21 and met my husband I was at 400lbs.  I ate and ate, I ate when I was happy, sad, scared, nervous, tired, and bored.  I ballooned up to 503 lbs that was my highest noted weight.  I hate to say it but ya that was it 503 I had surgery on March 15th of 2007 and now have begun the hardest thing I have ever done.  I know I am doing this for myself and family I plan on seeing my daughter grow up and to have a mom that can do things with her.  I also plan on riding roller coasters with my DH because he loves them and I want to share that with him.
