Anyone not struggled with weight their whole life?

I was always thin. I had a 9 lb baby gained 40 lbs and the next day zipped up my size 4/5 like nothing! I did not start to gain weight until I developed several medical problems. Due to all the medical problems I ended up taking 27 pills a day (all prescribed) and started to gain weight. Since 1997 I went from size 8 to 14 in 16 years. I am 6 mos post op and now wearing a loose 6! I did this surgery to get me off all my meds. I was taking prednisone daily for 16 years and I needed to take control of my body. After going to Stanford and speaking to doctors they assured me that my medication would drop and they have! Currently taking 7 but 3 will be dropped next month. Best thing I could have done for family and myself

My weight struggles didn't start until I got on the depo shot when I was about 15yo. I never had weight problems before then and I quickly packed on 40+ pounds ending up around 188 pounds. That's when my weight struggle started and the constant yo yo dieting. I'm 28 now so my weight struggles have been about half my life span. On the bright side if I hadn't got on depo I may of ended up pregnant. I wish I would of got on the pill that time but my mom insisted on us getting depo and thats when I turned into a hippo

Only since first child born. Was a normal size kid, I grew up in the 70`s and kids were active and played outside all day.

I only began to struggle with weight when I reached adulthood. I was never an overweight child. Clearly it was the transition from having meals made for me by a diligent mother, to having to choose meals for myself that did me in. My husband is a thin guy with a high metabolism, and since I generally cook for both of us I began to eat the same things he wanted to eat. To put it simply: carbs, carbs and more carbs!

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. I was always the heaviest in all of my classes. I have lost 60-100lbs several times in my life, but always gained my loss plus more back. I finally got tired of my weight after spending 1 month in the hospital after emergency neurosurgery/spinal surgery, and a total and partial knee replacement.
