Where to begin. I was of "normal" size until I was 9 years old. My weight began a rapid climb after i was sexually assualted. I felt if I made myself "ugly" I would be safe. I stumbled into a physically abusive marriage and put on even more weight. My husband of 15 years passed away leaving me handicapped with 4 small children. As you can guess more weight was added due to depression. Lonely and desperate I became involved and later married someone who accepted my size but has mental issues which now bring on more stress and weight gain. I love my children and want to make a decent life for them and I now realize I need to take care of me before I can truly take care of them. I am praying that I will be successful for their sake and mine.
