Well....I guess I will try to write a little about myself, so here it goes! I never really had weight issues until middle school, it seemed like one day I woke up and the weight was just there, small amounts at a time. When I graduated high school I weighed about 150 to 160 lbs., not really that bad, maybe a size 10/12!! My whole family is basically overweight, except my two sisters who smoke! When I was growing up, it seemed like all family functions and celebration revolved around food, that was just their way of showing their love!
Then I got married, moved 2,000 miles away from my family, and I guess you could say that I ate because I was lonely and missed all my family and friends! Although it seems like it would have taken away my appetite!! I don't care what anyone says...when I'm having a bad day, a Big Mac or a bowl of Rocky Road always makes me feel so much better!!!! LOL =)
Gradually the weight packed on and before I knew it I was wearing 22's and telling myself that it was okay, I did not really have self esteem issues at that point, I was able to still be very active.
After 4 years of California, Military living, we moved back home and started trying to have a family. My weight attributed to my infertility, which was hard to accept at times! After 4 years of trying to get pregnant, I lost about 25 pounds and got pregnant! Did great althrough my pregnancy only gaining 19 lbs. And when I went back for my 2week check up I had actually lost about 38 lbs, and was lighter than before I became pregnant!! My son had to have open heart surgery when he was 10 months old, and guess what??? I ate, ate, ate, and ate up until his heart surgery, from sheer anxiety!! and before I knew it I was wearing a 24/26, YUCK!!!
So here I am now wearing 26/28/30 wondering how I really got to this point; and the weight is now limiting my activities, I really hate that part!!! I can't wait to get this weight off and LIVE LIVE LIVE LIVE!!!! No more blood pressure medicine, no more strained knees and joints!!!! YIPPEEEEEEE!!!
