Hello everyone! My name is Brandy and I am so glad to have found this forum.
A little about me and my weight battle:
I am 27 and I have been overweight since I was 10. I was a skinny little girl before that. I attribute the change to a broken arm. I was always outside and playing before that 6 week journey and during that journey I had my arm in an immobilizer inside my shirt and it was a hot summer...I stayed inside by the fan most of that 6 weeks and I think after that I was in the habit of staying inside.
I was a size 18 when I was 18 and have topped out at size 22 for the past 6 years. I'm a larger framed girl and most people argue about my size but it's true! Try to get me in a size 18 again and your stretching the clothes! lol
Now I lost 60 pounds about 2 years ago with ww and exersize. It was great! But I went back to school and there were other stress factors....gained it all back.
I got pregnant about a year ago and lost over 15 pounds in the pregnancy due to excessive morning sickness....I had my twins in January and was all ready to keep that weight off but it just didn't happen. I fell back into my old habits of eating for comfort, plus once those boys were out my appetite had a chance to recover!
I am sick of being uncomfortable! I'm sick of feeling so tired! I want to live to a very old age and be a great grandma if possible! But I know being overweight is not healthy. I have been lucky so far. I have no health problems but I know the damage is being done right now.
So..that's my story! I'm glad to be here.
