I was never overweight as a child, and as a teen I was a little chunky but my problems never really got out of control untill after I had my first child.When I first got pregnant I weighed about 140 pounds. I really took that "eating for two" to heart and ate non-stop during the pregnancy. When I had my son I weighed 220pounds. After that I just had the attitude of "well I am already overweight I might as well have fun and eat as much as I want". I regret that attitude. After that things got worse and after I had my daughter in 2001 my weight went up to 260. My self esteem has never been that good, and has gotten worse as the pounds keep coming. I have issues with depression and anxiety, not fully due to my weight but it certainly does'nt help things. I am just ready for a change, I am afraid I will not get to see my kids grow up, and I am tired of not being able to play with them the way they want me to, playing outside riding bikes and running around is something I have not done in a long time! I just want to be healthy for myself and my family!!
