Where to begin...
I wasn't too heavy as a child, although I always felt like I was. My problems really began when I was pregnant with my first child. I was on bedrest for 3 months. During that time, I gained 80 lbs. I had the same bout with illness during my second pregnancy, and that time i gained 85 lbs.
I tried everything - WW, Atkins, Fen-Phen, etc. I'd lose a little, then gain a little more. I've been on a gradual climb for 22 years. It's amazing how far one can climb in 22 years, even when it's just a little at a time.
My husband and I don't purposely sabotage each other, but we use food to reward each other. Eating out has been our main source of entertainment recently. We've been working hard to change that prior to surgery. Eventually, we can get back to doing the things we really love. Can't wait to golf again:)
