New to the Forum...not to dieting
Good Morning!
My name is Mari and I am 23 and new to the Forum. I currently weigh 250 lbs. I have been heavy my entire life (JC Penny and the "Pretty Plus") was me as a kid and I started shopping in Lane Bryant by 12 or 13. I am very tall as well (about 5'10") and so I have always been a big girl. I went on my first diet at 10, struggled with losing and gaining back 10-20 lbs about a dozen times in middle and high school.
3 years ago I topped out at 280 lbs. I lost nearly 80 lbs my junior/senior years of college. Through starvation type diets, being very busy (college, working, "extra curriculars") and even ocassionally using suplements. I got to 201 lbs. And just......lost it. My friend says I panicked at the though of being under 200...I havent been since i knew how to use a scale.
Well I graduated moved home, and am now surrounded by loving, fat feeding, chubby family. Dinner means lasagna with cheese and sauce and cheese bread and wine. (Yep that is on a tuesday!) I started a real job surrounded by food. In the lounge, in the classroom, everywhere I turn!
Here I am with 50lbs back on! I recently purchased weightwatchers and am waiting for it to be delivered. I know this time I need to be a little less....extreme. I hope this will be a place to help! I hope to hear from you soon!
