I've been struggling with my weight since I was in Junior High.  Trouble was, in Junior High, I didn't know I was stuggling till my mom put me on a diet pill.  It was unacceptable to start High School being over weight.  Looking back, knowing what I know now,,, I was an average size,,, not overweight, but not thin.After graduating, I struggled here and there but was always able to get it back where I wanted it to be,,, all within 10 to 15 pounds.  When I was pregnant with my first son, I gained over 80 pounds,,, I lost it all after about 1 year, started having a lot of marital problems and gained it ALL back.  After that, I struggled with one diet after the other,,, one diet pill,,, and so on.  I always would loose weight,,, the most being 50 pounds.  I had another child, lost the 50 pounds I gained with him and just seemed to not get the other weight off.  I re-married and had another child,,, only gained 30 to 40 with her,,, lost it all plus another 20ish pounds,,, by working out 2 hours a day, 5 days a week with a trainer.  The most expensive weight control ever!   With the new baby,,, moving to a new house, my mother in law moving in,,, us moving again to accomidate her,,, her being diagnosed with dimentia a year later,,, I've now gained up to 287.  The lowest I ever got after the birth of my first son was 245.  A lot of money and time and going up and down to be where I am today.
