I've been heavy since childhood.  I wish I could figure out the trigger and wonder if I ever will. My childhood sucked -- an abusive mother who was also overweight. I can remember my first bout with WW and losing weight (it wasn't until I recently sent for my school records that I saw I had lost 100 pounds just before JR high)...I gained it all back the following year -- something that shocked the nutritionist.  It was she that said, something must have happened to allow a child to be heavy enough to lose 100 pounds and then gain it back in a two year period. 

I've been struggling since..about four years ago, I lost 100 pounds again with WW..and of course gained it back.  It's so very hard..I wish I was normal.  And that is the reason I am fighting to have surgery. I want to be normal.  I am so tired of the comments, stairs, and attitudes of society.  I just want to blend in with everyone else and be a normal weight.  I don't need to be 135 pounds..but if I could just be normal...I'd be thrilled.

I dream of the day that I can look back at this and realize...I made it.
