so, i have always been that fat girl. heck, i was born in this world obese. i weighted 10lbs 4oz at birth. i completely skipped wearing newborn clothing and went straight into 0-3 months. that is sad...my daughter wore newborn clothes until she was five months, but she weight 3lbs 15oz at birth.
i was the first girl in my class to get a training bra, not that i had boobs, but the fact that i was overweight. that was just in fourth grade. i always felt as an outcast because i was the only big person in my class and most of the school (small school). I had a lot of friends, but still felt like i didn't belong. it was hard adjusting to high school being over weight. i soon began to love myself though. i just gave up every hope of being one of the skinny people because it seemed like it was never going to work for me no matter what i did.
i got a good job after school and loved it. i started to loose weight while working there. i moved into my own apartment. i even made some HORRIBLE choices, by letting my friends "stay" the night at my place....they didn't leave until i moved out. i fell in love and lost my job. then, a few weeks later on my birthday found out i was pregnant. i started out in my pregnancy at 225lbs...now, i am 270lbs. that is AFTER losing 25lbs from water weight...out of the preeclampsia.
it is going to be a long, difficult road, but i am ready for the challenge this time. i am going to make a CHANGE for the better. i have a husband and daughter that need me to be healthy, so i can do more things with them and not feel bad because i am out of shape. =]
