My story probably isn't very unique. I was always a little heavy, but thought that I was huge. I never stopped, and would be the first one to run across the store for something that was missed, or to move something heavy, or just get things done because I was just too impatient to wait.
Then i stopped smoking. As my weight gain went up, I tried Weight Watchers. Lost about 5 pounds, but then, started gaining weight uncontrollably. I went to my doctor, who couldn't find anything wrong. After a doctor change, the 3rd doctor found that my thyroid was not working at all. I went on the thyroid medication, expecting to lose weight like it was gained.... No such luck.
Then, one day, I hit a brick wall... My husband and I started finding that romance was getting a little, um, awkward. I got down in the floor with my then 5 year old, and couldn't get back up without crawling to furniture and climbing up. Then, I didn't want to wait for my husband to get home to help me move some furniture. My kids said that I turned as red as a 'lobster'. I thought that I was having a heart attack. That was right about this time last year.
It still took a couple of months for me to figure out what to do. But now, here I am and I am having surgery soon!
By the way, those pics where I used to think that I was a little overweight, look heavenly now!
