I'm 26 and the mother of 2 adorable little boys. I was thin most of my life until I had my first child. I gained 80lbs and I just couldn't get the weight off. Luckily I really watched what I ate in my second pregnancy and didn't do to much additional damage. I separated from my husband in late 07'. Working 2 jobs and taking care of my boys mostly on my own the weight just seemed to fall off. Now, I have gained back 45lbs, half of what I lost. I feel just as miserable as I did at 270lbs. I hate my body and it effects every aspect of my life. I'm not going to let it any more. I will find a diet that I can make a life style.
