Back when I was a little girl in school, they used to bring the weight scales into your classroom and weigh you in front of the class. I remember when I was in 3rd grade I weighed 85# and my best friend weighed 47#. She was really tiny and petite and I was an average size, but from that moment on, I remember worrying about those scales. I avoided them each time they entered the classroom. I don't think I had a weight problem then, but did develop one after my parents divorced when I was 11 years old. I remember my Mom and brother losing alot of weight and me gaining 60#. I left high school weighing 200# and proceeded to have 4 children in 5 years right after that, which left me at 260# at age 25. I am now 48 years old and my highest weight before my bariatric surgery was 402#. I'd love to be about 150#, but I would definitely settle for that 200# again.
