I have been overweight as long as I can remember. I believe it is somewhat genetic in my case. My mother is heavy and my grandmother and great gradmother (all on moms side) were heavy. In 8th grade I weighed 149lbs. My senior year in  I had major (sept 98) Jaw Surgery, before the surgery I weighed 230lbs. It seemed as though I gained 20lbs a year. By the end of my senior year (june 99) I weighed 178lbs. I met my husband in April of 2001 weighing 185lbs. We got married in 2004 my current weight was 232lbs. I had my first daughter in July of 2007 my pre preg weight was 264 and I got back down to that after I had her. I had my second daughter in May of 09. I weighed 294 pre preg and was down to 286 after that. I am currently 294lbs. I was diagnosed with PCOS in August of 2008 just a month shy of finding out I was pregnant with m second daughter. I am an over eater. I eat my emotions, I eat for boredom. I eat because it tastes good. Look at where that has gotten me now. I get sweaty at the slightest thing I am always hot when I sleep. Sometimes I get out of breath going up the 6 stairs at our apartment. My back and knees are killing me. I have gone on so many diets only to fail. I do not have the support of my husband when it comes to WLS. I do have the support of my mother and she is also looking into WLS surgery. I am just sick and tired of being this way.
