I am 28 years old. My story is like so many that I have read on here. I can not remember a time that I have not struggled with my weight. I remember praying to God when I was younger that i would wake up and be skinny. Little did I know at that age that this problem would turn into a health issue for me. I was never obese in school, just bigger than all of the other girls at school. As the years passed I started to add weight. First 10lbs here and then I'd try a diet and that wouldn't work and the weight just added up. 

After years of infertility (which I now know is a big symptom of PCOS), me and my husband(who i have married to for 8 years) recieved the best news...pregnant. Three months after I gave birth to a healthy baby boy, I found out that guess what... pregnant again. I didn't even have the time to loose the baby weight. After my second blessing I gained close to 50lbs. I started to diet hardcore, but I just kept feeling run down. After getting reallly sick, we found out that I was diabetic. That was a huge blow to me. I went to all of the diabetic classes and vowed to loose weight. But guess what... yep you guessed pregnant again. I finally had my baby girl. I had some major womanly issues after having her and needed surgery. That is when we found out that we were expecting once again. 

After the blessing of my babies, I have steadily gained atleast 15lbs. I have joined a fitness center and been put on a dr supervised diet and to no avail. The most I have lost in a 5 mos span is 2lbs. I have decided to that i can not sit around and not do anything. I have five beautiful ppl in my life depending on me. All of you who have made this journey are my inspiration. So many of you have a place in my heart and I have never met you. I hope that on my journey I can be half as strong and successful as you.
