I was always prone to over eating, so I starved to stay thin. When I got pregnant I couldn't starve anymore, so I didn't. I got really big during pregnancy, after delivering our baby, I went back to starvation as my approved method, but it had stopped working. I tried every pill I could find to curb my appetite, becoming quite dependent on Phentermine which stopped working. Got to my heaviest weight (currently) and decided I'd had enough. I just can't sustain starvation and hours and hours of cardio if I want to spend quality time with my baby. I've realized I need a better solution that is healtheir and long term. I come from a big family of skinny people. I really am the only overweight person I know, and it's lonely.
