This is my first day on this site and the first day (this time) on my weight loss journey. This wasn't something I planned, I just woke up this morning and decided to exercise which flowed into writing down what I'd eaten; ultimately I found this site.
This being my first day on this journey I feel I need to lay it all bare. My weight issues started 16 years ago during my first pregnancy. I gained 30 lbs and developed gestational diabetes. The first few months after giving birth I was losing the weight, but when I stopped breast feeding it all came back with about 5 lbs extra. About a year later I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and told to eat 3 small meals and 3 small snacks a day to keep my sugar level. The doctor said I may even lose weight. I guess my idea of small was small enough because I wound up putting on another 20 lbs. I gave up the small meals.
When I got pregnant with my second child I had morning sickness for the first 6 months. Despite that I developed gestational diabetes again. When she was born, though, I had actually dropped 10 lbs. My last pregnancy was soon to follow. It caused no change in my weight and was the only one I didn't develop diabetes during.
About 6 months after my third child was born I decided to lose the weight. At that time I was still 50 lbs over weight. Over the next 6 months I managed to lose 30 lbs of the weight but then my life changed again. I became more sedentary and gained the 30 lbs back plus 5 more. I maintained until I tried to lose weight again about 3 years ago. My husband and I joined a gym. He started to lose weight but I start to gain. When I hit 190 lbs I started to panic. I handled the panic poorly by eating even more. When I hit 195 I quit the gym and started to maintain again.
I am 4'11". I am terrified of weighing 200lbs. I am terrified of even trying to lose weight again because of all the times I've gained more on the rebound. However, I am now at a point where I have to lose the weight or become diabetic.
