Hi!! I am 30 years old, wife, mom to a 8 year old, 6 year old and 19 month old. My story probably isn't much different from most of ya'll. I have been overweight my entire life. I remember in high school being ashamed in gym class bc we had to step on the scales and I weighed 210 lbs
Throughout the years I have successfully lost weight using weight watchers and counting calories. The lowest I have weighed in my adult life was 200lbs. ( im 6ft tall) I am now weighing in at 273.
When I was pregnant with my 19 month old I had hyperemesis gravidarium which means i vomited 30 plus times a day and could not eat. I was on IV's etc. I lost 42lbs while pregnant. Once I had my daughter, my food issues multiplied. I ate everything in site. I was just so happy to be able to eat again. I quickly gained the 40lbs back. and since I was basically starving the entire 9 months my metabolism was shot.
I need help. I have even gone as far as looking at weight loss surgery however I am not diabetic, and i do not have high blood pressure so my insurance denied it. I am so tired of looking in the mirror and hating myself. I am tired of not going to my kids events b/c I am embarrased of myself. but I guess im not tired enough of it bc i can't seem to stick to any diets.
