Well, my story sounds like many others here.  I have had a weight problem since age 11 when I hit puberty.  I have PCOS (Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome).  My mother put me on many diet programs from the age of 13 until I left home.  The only time I actually lost more than a few pounds was when I took Phentermine from a Dr that had a weightloss clinic.  I achieved that inbetween my many years and attempt to get pregnant through infertility treatments.  When I  stopped the diet pills and started up with the infertility treatments again, I gained back all of the weight I lost and more.  There are many things that I would like to do and experience, however with over 100 extra pounds on, I either don't feel that I can try them or am not comfortable or am embarassed to try them.  always self concious about my appearance and lack self confidence.  I was fortunate to marry a wonderful man over 21 years ago who has accepted and loved my at whatever weight I have been at.  He has been very supportive in this process which is wonderful.  He is my cheerleader.
