This is my life. It sounds like a soap opera or a harlaquin story. I was married at 14 and had my first child at 14 also. I gained 80 lbs. Then in 1969 I had my second child. I was on a yo- yo diet. Gain and then loose! By the time I had my third child I was weighting in at 300 lbs. I lost the most weight by doing the Dr. Atkins diet, only to gain it all back and then some. I was a stay at home mom always tasting the kids food and ate what was left on their plate. When I was growing up, food was scarce. we were raised on fried potatoes. Potatoes and more potatoes! There was 6 of us kids. I am the 4th child in the family. My dad worked on construction, so we were forced to eat what we had. There was many times I was hungry. We could not go to the refridgerator and get food out and eat it, there just wasn't enough food to go around. I think I gain weight because the little child in me is afraid of being hungry. My weight has caused me a lot of disabilities. So Finally, after much thought , I've decided to do some research regarding WLS. I hope to meet some new friends here, who can help point me in the right direction.
