Hey my name is Kaitlin. I'm 18 and weight 220 (highest weight EVER). But, I wasn't always heavy through out elementary school I was completely normal as far as my weight went, in fact I was TINY. I didn't have any sort of problem until 6-7 grade. When I was 11-12 I became very ill. Super fatigued, my limbs were heavy and after a few months of that I became fairly depressed. I was missing a ton of school and in 7th grade my parents decided to pull me out to be homeschooled. With being depressed and having access to food 24/7 I became an emotional eater, as well as a boredom eater. Again I was home all day... which means I was constantly board, which in turn meant I at a lot of the time. I didn't realize I had a problem with my weight til mid 8th grade. Ever since then (4 or so years) I have been dieting on and off. I still have chronic fatigue (though it has been much better the past 6 months) so exercise has been hard. I have finally come to the point where everything hurts and I have realized I am not going to be able to lose this weight on my own. Not for lack of trying but with the years of stuffing myself my stomach has stretched, which means I have eat way more than I need to feel like I actually ate anything.
