I was wondering what made you fall off.
I know when I was young and fit I would notice even a pound gain and straight away sort it out. I went overboard when I was 18 and went to uni, drinking every night became out of control and I left my first year about 14 pounds overweight. I joined a Weight Watchers type class but couldn't get out of the drinking habit and so returned to uni even heavier. This is where I started to get down about my weight and drink even more. In the last few years I have also added pointless eating to the drink and made matters worse.
After nearly ten years of being overweight (and missing out on my twenties - I pretty much don't leave the house unless I have to), I had to do something. I can't say for sure but once I hit goal I strongly believe that I will not go over a five pound threshold I'll set for myself. I would have worked too hard to let it all go again. Having said that, I have not really yo-yo dieted. I tried it once, tried a couple of other diets for about a day and that was that. Maybe I will do the same thing *winces at the thought*
What made you ignore the extra 6 pounds, then the extra 10 pounds before finally reaching your all time high again, if not more?
I appreciate your answers

and got pregnant. after every family memeber found out my parents who had already been threw an even like this with my younger sister who soon divorced sat down with me and said that it was my decicion if i wanted to get married or if i wanted to continue college they would help me. His parents were more traditional spanish family. His parents said you got her pregnant you better get married and bring her into this house before she starts to show. I didnt want to loose him and i wanted to marry later in life anyway so we got married at the end of aug. my parent paid for all the dinner and reception event, decoration at a nice reception place. then the day after we got married and went on a short 1 night honeymoon to the beach which was 100 miles away we went back to his house and lived in a 3 bed house with his parents and his younger sisiter age 13 (only girl mind you) and an even younger brother age 9. dont know y we went there when my parent had a 3 bed bath all to themselves and offered to house us. anyway threw this whole time that i was tying to help would clean,wash, learn cooking his, parents still said that they would have thrown me out on the street had it not been that i was pregnant. And i was not even bad or mean or mischevious. i was always obedient (you know you want to have your in law like you right) guess mine didnt like me from the day they found out that i was preg. should have known when they didnt believe me that i was pregnant and forced me to go to mexico and get a blood test done just to make sure i was not lying. and living with my so called sister in law made life even more miserable because she would say i did or didnt do things that i was expected to do. she would be on the phone all day and i would have to clean and wash and start cooking dinner. and when the inlaws got home it was ,, ohhh she did everything and i have been just sitting there. even worse things happened with her, that i dont want to talk about. of course i stopped going to school. and made my part time job into a full time job with out benefits just to beable to help pay for gas and clothes and baby things.guess food was my way to let out my feelings. His parents were telling him that he needed to quit going to college (which he had just started) and get a job. i told him i would divorce him if he did quit school. so he didnt. and when the baby came the inlaws were traditional to the point were i had to breast feed and no daycare for infants (who was going to make the money). so finally we moved into a trailer with the help of my parents and they bought a refreg and stove and we put all our money into his classes and books. and i guess threw all the stress and the baby that added like another 40 (total of 184) and then i was working in a place that i didnt like because there was not room for improvement and they were cutting my hours little by little. so i started looking for a new position in the work place. i was able to and by then i was at 190. worried about paying bills feeding baby, gas, school. but even though we always had his parents telling us what to do and since he was the oldest boy in the family who his parent depended on so much they were always calling him for stuff and having his to this and this to their house. i really didnt care about him working on our house. i just wanted out and the only way was for him to get his education. he knew it hurt me to give up that i gave up and to put up what i had to put up with.... but after another baby he finally graduated college with and engineering degree and we moved about 4 state away (job related but i think that was the best thing that could happen to us because we are actually a family now). feels weird not to be the main income worker in the family. but with him making 70 thousand plus a year he says that to him i have given our family the best thing by making him finish school and now it was my time to relaxe and take care of our kids (day care is expensive without state help) so i just stay home with the girls and am now working on my next job..getting me health and sexy again...hey im only going to be 27 in few weeks. Feels good to vent. just makes me think to myself alot..cant believe i let myself get like this.

Wow I remember those days. Well I went to college, taking 9 pills a day, hating life. Hyperthyroidism definitely took its toll on me. My doctor suggested I have an iodine treatment, which I did, which was supposed to kill the bad cells in my thyroid. LUCKY ME, it called ALL of them. So ever since 18, I've been taking synthroid. Of course, it takes a while for the doctor's to get your dosage right, so while I was their guinea pig, I managed to bust out of ALL of my cute clothes from high school.
