There isn't much to my story. I was always slim as a child and a teenager. While I was in junior high and high school, I was called Olive Oyle, Toothpick, etc.....That used to burn me up!! It only made me even more insecure about my body at that age. When I graduated high school, I didn't even weigh 100lbs. I know what some of you are thinking......Anyway......Fast forward to age 26. I became pregnant with my son and began eating. Since I'd never had problems keeping weight off, I thought that if I ate whatever I wanted it would come off when I had the baby. NOT!!!!!!!!!! I was taken out of work early due to swelling ( I worked in a factory 12 hour shifts on my feet). I sat at home and ate and ate and ate. When I went to deliver my son, I weighed 197lbs. Needless to say I kept about half of that weight and have been battling with it for the past 15 years. In the past 5-6 years, my health has been deteriorating due to my excess weight. I need help. So there is my story. It's as simple as that.
