My story....
For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my weight. My weight has always been a very sensitive issue for me. Its something that I have struggled with my whole life.
My earliest memory of my weight being an issue had to be in the 5th grade. It was health day and everyone in the class had to be weighed. (They were weighing everyone in front of the others) I forgot to get the note stating that I didn't want to be weighed and as a result had to be weighed with the others. I was completely humiliated.
You would have thought that I would have taken the steps to "fix" this issue but it only got worse....
With all of the other stressors in my life, my weight grew and grew and grew..... I just tried to ignore it and pretend that it didn't affect me... But it did. Deep down inside, I knew that my weight was a huge problem and needed to be addressed. I can name numerous situations that I have been in where I have been humilated about my weight. And each time, it would seem, I would get bigger.....
Then finally, I said this is it and then the yo-yo dieting began and it hasn't stopped since. You name it I have done it... I was able to lose 50lbs on WW but gained 75lbsback in a matter of time. (and I quit smoking) I have tried to watch my calorie intake, limiting myself to 800-900 calories a day, which worked for a little bit, which I would gain and be right back. I could feel my self getting bigger with every bite I took.
Finally, after the birth of my twin boys, reaching my highest weight, I came to the conclusion that I was going to be fat forever. I never thought that being healthy and thin was an option for me... Then I began to notice, I didn't want to be in photos/videos with my kids, it was hard for me to play, and walk around for a day at the zoo. My knee's would ache and my body would be complete sore....
I have decided ......its time......to get healthy.....for me and my kids....
