I have never been considered skinny, thin, small or even average size. I have always been taller than most and a bit heavier. It wasn't until after I got married and went on Depo Lupron for Endometriosis that I gained a massive amount of weight. I never lost that excess weight before getting pregnant and adding an additional 30#s. At that point in my life I was diagnosed with RA and fibromyalgia and my activity dropped and my eating didn't.
About a year and a half later I started feeling really good and my RA felt great. I was getting active and loosing weight on WW. My weight felt a little more under control. Well...I was pregnant. Super excited and we had been trying but we expected it to take much longer since the first required medical intervention. This also explained why my RA felt better. The doctor suspected it had went into remission. I only gained a few pounds (still was huge) while pregnant this time.
Since then I have gained and lost and then gained more quite a few times. A couple years ago I had a complete hysterectomy and it seems that losing weight has been more difficult.
My biggest problem is portion control and eating out of boredom. My hope is that this tool will help me get my life back.
I WANT TO START BEING AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN MY LIFE!
