Hello everyone! My name is Kristy and I am new to this site. Let me tell you a little about my weight loss journey. It has been a long one to say the least. I have always been over weight for as long as I can remember. I was the chubby kid in elementary school and pretty much gained even more weight with every passing year. I can remember the horrible comments as a child when other kids would tell me that I should be measured on a rictor scale. I did have periods in my childhood when I was thin. At the age of 10 I hade lost 50lbs on WW on had become a lifetime member, but as I became a teen the weight just went back on. At the age of 18 I became involved in the party seen and lost a considerable amount of weight just due to the fact that I did not eat enough food and drank and danced at clubs all night long. At the age of 20 I was introduced to phen phen and lost 30lbs in 3 weeks. Unfortunitly I was allergic to the drug and after becoming very ill I wound up in the detox unit in a hospital for treatment due to my body storing all of the amphetamine that was in that diet drug. At this point my quest to be thin had caused great trauma to my body as it was just totally shutting down. Did I learn my lesson no a year later after gaining the weight back and even more I started taking the weight loss drug adapex. Again I quickly lost weight but after feeling that I was getting sick again I stopped taking the drug. At the age on 24 I was diagnosed with having absolutely no thyroid at all so now I am on the right kind of medication. At this point I think I realized there was no quick fix. So here I am at 29 after having a baby 2 years ago I am at the biggest I have ever been 222lbs and feeling totally disgusted at what I have let myself become. I am back at WW but feel like I need some more support as I find myself getting discouraged. I have a wonderful husband but his idea of support is bring home a snicker bar and asking me if I want some! He is not exactly the most suportive persone when it comes to being on a diet as he can eat 100 Oreos for breakfast and not gain a pound! I am so tired of being the fat girl with the pretty face and want to let the skinny girl inside out! I hope to find the extra nudge I need on this site as I feel this is my last chance to be the person I know that I can be.
Kris
