CARROLL H.
I am not really sure where to start, but, I guess I should say I don't ever think I was truly skinny, except maybe when I was born until about 5? I was never really FAT until maybe 11th or 12th grade, I was just always in between. I was fat enough my father ALWAYS told me not to drink that coke, or eat that pizza, so therefore, I always was self concious. My mother was very small, but she only ate white rice with english peas, almost ALL the time! She was maybe 5 foot, where as I am 5'7, and my father was 5'7, but I am more built like him. My mother, from what I was told, always had to watch her weight, though I had never seen any photos where she was even the least bit chunky, but that is what I was told.. again, to me, my hips look like my father's did, my but looked like my father's did...and he is the one that always was on me about my weight..
When I was in high school, I went on birth control and that made me gain a lot of weight... FAST! I had to take it do to very bad periods, and never thought it would effect me like that. I went from a size 12, to a 18 in less than a year.
From there.. I got married, had 3 children in 3 years and ended up now a size 28 and weighing, when I started this process 335 lbs.
I hope that I can find some strength from you all, as well as, tips and support for me, as well as some of you. I hope to provide some information on my journey, and hopefully it will help someone out that find information that was hard for me to find.
Huggs to you all..
Carroll
