I was skinny until I had my first child. I was actually not fat after that BUT that is when my weight problems began. During my pregnancy I felt good, everything tasted great, I slept a lot and I gained over 40 lbs. I never lost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Seven years later I was fat. I became pregnant with my second child gained even more weight and was obese after her delivery. Seven years later the night that hurricane Opal settled over
During the next several years I gained weight and started going to a weight loss clinic that gave me diet pills. I lost weight. I gained weight again, I lost weight. I am the poster child for the YoYo Dieters. You look at their poster. That is me! I could lose it I just could not keep it off.
My husband and I divorced mostly because I just could not get over his betrayal. He tried to make it right but I just wanted to run away. I was, for a while, especially when I was skinny very self destructive in my behaviors. I also became very independent, fearless, competitive and adventurous.
Two years ago I met a man who helped me learn to stop running. He is the most honest man I have ever met. We have had so much fun. We have had the most incredible adventures. Unfortunately during these last two years I have slowly gained 60 pounds. Everything tastes better when he is around. Life is always a celebration. Mostly I don’t seem to have the will power to starve my self thin any more.
