Another Question: When Did You Gain The Most Weight

Queen how tall are you?

I'm 5'10 so when I sayy 180 I mean a size 8/10 pant

Okay I am 5'9 up to 175 pounds (was 165 2 months ago mad about it) so I understand the size thing.. except at 175 my 8's are a thing of the past...LOL solid 10 right now

I'm a GOOD size 10 I can do some 8's depending on the material and some 12's. I had said I wouldn't care about the size but it drives me crazy if I pick up a 10 and ahve to go up to a 12

***thinking to myself what a good damn problem to have a size 12 over a size 28***lol

I was born pre-mature, and whatever they gave me to grow neva stopped working.  I been a big biotch my whole life.  I could where my momma's clothes in the 2nd grade so I don't know when I gained the most because I have always been bigger than average.

So Brenda I have to ask when did you REALLY notice how big you were in comparison to others?

Sorry this turned out longer than I planned.  Good ? Ro Ro

As a teen ager and young adult weighed 130.  Got engaged and gained 10 lbs. 

Gained 80 lbs with 1st baby -- went from 130 to 210 -- eating at the chinese buffet and having 2 Mickey D's sausage biscuits for breakfast. 

Lost all but ten of the pregnancy weight by eating right and walking the track at the Y everyday at lunch time.

Fast forward three years ... get pregnant with 2nd baby -- while pregnant studied for OH bar at night after 3 year old was in bed.  I rewarded myself for my hard work with Butter Almond ice cream.  Probably ate a half gallon per night.  Didn't lose that weight.

yo yo'ed on diet pills from 1990 through 1996 -- got as low as 140 and as high as 225.

Y2K was overwhelmed with fulltime job, pastoring a church, mothering/driving two active boys (to hell with hubby's need) started eating in the damn mini van.  Got sick, almost died and my momma brought me lots of good food in the bed while I recovered.  Got diagnosed with bone-on-bone arthritis ---confined to bed most of time --ate lots of caramel --had more health problems --got more sedentary and voila 280 lbs at the time I went for surgery.

How crazy is it that you were eating because you were sick... and the eating just made you sicker!

I don't care what anyone says an eating addiction is the hardest addiction to overcome!  

True, true . . .you can't avoid food.

I will never forget my major weight gain. It was when I was pregnant with my son I gained 80 pounds. Before my first born I was a size 10-11?!?  Then after he was born end of story and then add another baby to that and then Depo...So u know how the rest of the story goes. 

12 years later WLS is now changing my life!!!
