I didnt have a weight problem until right around puberty. Then it was just a little bit of a problem. I had always thought of myself as big. Probably because my older sister was so petite and I have a larger frame. The first time I remember going on a real diet I was in 9th grade. I weighed 151 and I lost 16 lbs and got down to 135. The next weight I remember being was 145 for probably the next year and a half. My senior year I weighed 160 - 1 lb over the max allowed weight to join the Air Force. The lady told me I'd lose it in basic and passed me through. Unfortunately I only lost it during basic and tech school but as soon as I got to my first duty station I started packing it on. 2 years later I weighed 180 and 2 years after that I weighed 201. We moved to Colorado and I gained another 10 lbs over that year. Then we moved up here to Michigan where I eventually got up to 260 lbs. I have tried and failed many diets. The most success I've had was at weight watchers but I'd eventually tire of counting points and cheat my way back up the scales.
I had started to think I'd accepted the weight I was at but I hadn't really. All I had done was fall into a depression where there was no longer any hope.
