[font=comic sans ms,cursive]I have struggled with my weight for the past 10 years. I don't really have one defining moment that caused me to gain weight, but I did none the less. I apparently lacked that little alarm that goes off in most people's brains that signals their pants are getting too tight. I just shrugged it off, made excuses for it (like "Maybe it's a side effect from my medications", "I MUST have a thyroid issue", or "What the hell? My pants shrunk AGAIN!") and just bought a bigger size.[/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]I slowly increased my sizes until I went from an 8 to an 18. I'm tired of hating myself and avoiding mirrors. I'm frustrated that I let it get this bad. I know I can lose weight because I've lost it before.[/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive]I've been successful doing Weight Watchers and have joined 5 times in the last decade. I've only reached my goal weight once and that was the first time I joined. Each time I gain back even more than I lost and the numbers on the scale continued to [/font]rise. [size=4][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I've decided to stop blaming myself for the things I did or didn't do and let it go. I have decided to put myself first for the first time in my life and pursue the sleeve. [/font][/size][font=comic sans ms,cursive]I am looking forward to the future and everything that losing this extra 90 pounds will bring me![/font]
