Weight Issues

[Guest guest]

OK Everyone,

In 1978 after the birth of my second son I had gained

quite a bit of weight. When he turned 2 yrs. old him

and my oldest son who was 4 at the time were playing

in the yard. I was laying on a lawn chair trying to

catch some sun. They both came up to me and my

youngest son grabs a handful of my thigh and says

" Mommy these Jiggle like jello " I felt so bad (even

though it was cute). I hadn't weighed myself in awhile

and so I went in and stepped on the scale and it said

250 lbs. I hadn't realized how much weight I had

actually gained. That day I told myself that I wanted

to be thin once again, wear clothes that didn't come

off the extra-large rack, and not have to worry about

how I dressed when I went out, and started on a diet.

I didn't do any diet from a book, I did my own diet. I

lost 132 lbs in 14 mos., I felt like shit to say the

least. You are probably saying, why would she feel

like shit? Well the reason being is I didn't diet

properly. Sure I went from a size 22 to a size 5 but I

didn't enjoy it like I should have been doing. I would

eat a little one day and starve myself for 2 days week

after week. I took diet pills, dexatrim, white cross

and any thing else I could get my hands on. I caught

every flu and illness that came my way. When my cycle

would come around I would sleep till 1:00 pm every day

because I was to sick and weak to get out of bed.

Please! As a word of warning do not diet that way.

diet sensibly. Sure I could do it again but I remember

to well how I felt and it was not any fun at all. That

is why I take 600 milligrams of Rantanidine each and

evey day for the rest of my life. The acid ate my

stomach something fierce and I was never the same. I

will post a pic from 1982 on here on Monday and you

can see how skinny I was, even after 2 children. I

will look for my (over sized woman) pictures and post

them too so you can see what I looked like before the

weight loss.
