I am a 30 year old mother of one. I come from a healthy family but as most people, we start out active & physically fit, then we allow life to get the better of us. I have always been thick but I was height & weight poportioned. Over the years I gained alot of weight. I blamed it on stress of Birth Control, kids, school & marriage. Nonetheless, I kept getting bigger & today I am at 265lbs.
I never thought it was a big deal because I was athletic. I still considered myself to be a beautiful person inside & out. After a while, depression set in and the demons got worse. Insecurities got the best of me. I have tried just about every diet & if I really put my mind to it, I was always successful but gained it all back in the end.
I want to be able to keep up with my son & he not be embarrassed because his mom os FAT. They have teased him quite a bit in some of his activities because I was not as small as some of the other moms. I have a family history of obesity, hypertension, & diabetes in my family. For many reasons unknown, no one chose to look into any weight loss options. Diet & exercise was as far as it went. There there is the old cop out... JUST FACE IT, YOU WERE MEANT TO BE BIG. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS BIG.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that my build has a lot to do with the genetic makeup. I do not believe that there is no way to escape it!
