I'm 28 years old and I weigh 330 pounds. I've only admitted that to my therapist and now the entire cyber community knows. I have always been "thick" but it's just been in recent years that I've been THIS big. When I was in college, weighing 230 lbs, I swore to myself that I'd never get bigger than 250 because I thought I was okay as long as I didn't hit 250. Well I became pregnant (went to 256), and started teaching. During the course of my career as a teacher I've gained about 75 pounds. I recently had another baby and have stalled at 330. I thought I was carrying the weight well until I saw myself naked in a full-length mirror-YUCK! I've tried all types of things to get thin. I've joined the gym, I've tried curves, I've tried Slim Fast (tastes like chalk), I've done all types of tapes (RIchard Simmons, Billy Blanks), I even tried that thing that you strapped to your stomach and shocked yourself-not fun. Now I'm hoping that with the surgery and the right amount of training I can get back to 170 pounds. That's still considered to be overweight but my doctor said anything under that and I would look extremely sickly (Star Jones, anyone?)
