My story is very simple. I come from a his/hers/theirs family. My mother had me and my sister from a first marriage, my step father had a daughter from a first marriage then mom and step dad had two other kids together. I always thought I had a wonderful family life growing up but I was always sent outside with food so I would not be bothering my mother.
As the years went by, I was always overweight and just got bigger until I was 30 and reached my peak at 321 pounds. I was married, had a bad marriage, only thing good was the girls. I decided to do something about it and started school full time, started to lose weight and take control of my life. Of course, taking control of my life also included getting rid of the abusive husband.
Not a problem at all losing 60 pounds but have since then gained back 30 of it and am now at 290. I got scared and decided that I had to do something drastic. I think this is the way to go for me. I am young, no co morbidities and just feel good about it all.
