I remember the first time that I considered myself as "fat". When I was 10 years old, my mom and dad were going through marital problems. I went to live with my grandmother. When I left the begining of the summer, I was wearing a size 6 ladies. When the summer was over and I went to visit my parents, my mother thought I was one of our cousins from the Bahamas-she didn't even recognize me. I was wearing a size 16 ladies. Wow-5 sizes in 3 months. I guess I ate away my stress. I fluctuated between a size 12 and 14 during high school and college. When I got married in 1994 I was 225lbs and a size 16. I gained 40 pounds with my first baby and didn't lose much of it and then I was pregnant again when she was 4 months old. I gained another 25 pounds but lost it after my son was born. My husband and I divorced in 2005 when I was 36 and I ended up with my all time high weight of 297. I was not an overweight person who could say "I don't know why I'm so heavy, I hardly eat." No, I ate and I ate alot. My typical day's meals went something like this: Breakfast: Large cafe con Leche (Cuban coffee), cuban bread toasted with butter and or cream cheese and a buttermilk doughnut; Lunch: 3 piece chicken meal with potato wedges from KFC, Snack: icecream or a piece of candy and Dinner: 2 porkchops with mashed potatoes and sweet corn. Of course all of this was with a diet coke! And NO excercise-I would get out of breath walking to my car. Wow. I was miserable and greedy. I didn't want to get to 300lbs-I prayed for this surgery and as easy as it was to pray for it-that's how easy it was approved-Praise God from whom All Blessings Flow. http://swords.cc/ohcc/oh_card.html 1.)
