Hey EvEryone! basically i'm 21 yrs old and have been struggling with my weight all my life.  While i've always been very active and involved on sports it still never seemed to make me any less hungry.  After having surgery for a Pylonidal Cyst in my Senior yr of highschool in 2004, I began to gain weight.  In my freshman year of college I played Volleyball for school and during that year I just fell apart; mentally, physically, and emotionally.  After failing classes and not being allowed to play softball, I fell into a deep depression and turned to drugs, alcohol..and food.  I didn't care about myself or what happend and I got myself into some situations that I still cringe today when I think back... I finished out the year and was ultimately told that I could not return which was fine b/c there was nothing for me there.  I came home and changed my phone number and tried to get my life back together.. that was 2 years ago and I have not done any drugs since. When I came home I was working in a warehouse and from the bad sneakers I was wearing and standing all day, plus the pressure that i was putting on my feet, I ended up developing a heel spur and had to have surgery.  Just when I thought I was going to be ok... I had been going to the gym and playing softball for the towwn.. I was soo close.. by the time i had surgery I could barely walk.  But I would still go to the gym and run on the treadmill until I couldn't even walk back to my car.  I gained about 30lbs from being in the wheelchair for 2 months and I just found out that I have to have surgery on my foot again! I mean really.. *sigh* When i was in 10th gr i was about 180lbs..12th gr - about 200lbs..after coming home from college - 240lbs....after surgery on my foot - about 260lbs.. and now i'm currently about 300lbs and 5'7 1/2 ft tall.. I'm doing Weight Watchers now and it's helping as far as food choices.. i'm more conscious.. but it's not helping with the PORTIONS..which is my biggest problem.. plus i'm inactive due to the foot.... so I really hope that I may  be able to have surgery.. i just want my life back..
