Wed: Liven up the Board Post

Here we go for Wednesday...HUMP DAY!!!!! 1) Do you watch Reality Shows? If so, what ones are your favorites? 2) Were you overweight as a child or when did you gain most of your weight? Looking back, do you have any thoughts of what may have caused being overweight for you?

Good morning Momma Ann! 1) Do you watch Reality Shows? If so, what ones are your favorites? Absolutely!! I love The Mole! I haven'****ched it yet for this week but I'm so glad it came back after being off the air for a few years. I also watch Survivor. And some of the ones I should be embarrassed to mention.....like Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Girls Next Door! 2) Were you overweight as a child or when did you gain most of your weight? Looking back, do you have any thoughts of what may have caused being overweight for you? According to my mom, I started gaining weight when I was 2. I've been steadily gaining since then even though I was constantly put on diets by my parents and by my pediatrician as I grew up. As a teenager and then as an adult, I went on every diet, both fad and real, that was out there but it never really worked. I continued to gain weight steadily. I really think that my steady weight gain was emotional. I was teased a LOT about my weight as a child. Being the fat kid meant being a target. To combat all those feelings of inadequacies.....I ate. It was the only way I knew to feel better, unfortunately. No one back then understood the mental side of eating....only that I ate too much. So it became ingrained in me to eat for any emotional reason and once that is started it's so hard to break. Even now, 18 months after surgery, it's the first thing I want to do when I have a stressful day. The food demon is always there...but at least now I recognize the demon and can deal with it a little better.

Deb makes me watch that crazy chef show. Man that guys an asshole! I started outting on weight in my early 20's. Although I always thought I was fat even when I was skinny. Little insight there huh? Love ya Mommy Ann, SParky

1) no.. I don'****ch any TV, sometimes a movie, but rare. I have the attention span of a 2 yr old, can't sit still to really grasp what's going on, on the boob tube. 2) yeppers, Dr told my Mom I was overweight at 5 weeks old. Back in that day, karo syrup was added to the whole milk we drank. But also back then, an overweight baby was considered a healthy baby... too bad I never grew out of my baby fat.

First off congrats on being preggers 1) Do you watch Reality Shows? If so, what ones are your favorites? Yes, all the cooking ones, the Big Break (golf) but my fave is Project Runway 2) Were you overweight as a child or when did you gain most of your weight? Looking back, do you have any thoughts of what may have caused being overweight for you? Yes, I REALLY started gaining weight at about 10 or 11. I loved to ( still do ) cook and eat, and I developed an unhealthy relationship with food.

1. Cheaters 2. Yes

Thankfully my work schedule gets me out of watching them. But every once in a while Trina gets me to watch Survivor. I don't mind the challenges but all the *****y melodrama is the part I can't stand about the shows. I started getting overweight somewhere around second grade. If you seen some of my younger pics you notice the difference around then.
