I used to see other people who gained weight that I knew for several years and I would always tell myself I would not let myself get to that point Well I am beyond that point sad to say!
In my 20's thru the mid 30's I kept myself in pretty decent shape then after my divorce and a bad relationship break up I decided I enjoyed alcohol more then staying healthy and the weight just kept on packing on!
I am a mother to 3 girls! My oldest is 23 and the twins are almost 3. Big gap! I met my second husband who did not have kids and never married So with the help of IVF we have our twins Prior to getting pregnant I weighed about 220 my heaviest ever. I had been working out with a trainer and had some positive results, no major weight loss but I was loosing and I was the strongest I had been in a long time! But I let the excuse that it was too expensive stop me from continuing
My husband is a very hard worker but enjoys his down time He could sit all weekend on the couch and watch tv in the beginning it drove me nuts because I liked to be busy. I've read that married couples start to pick up the others habits Well sad to say i have become a couch potato more then I care to admit, doesn't help i sit 12 hours at my job. Oh and we both still enjoy the alcohol! Of course this life style doesn't affect my husband like me!
I am now 240, just like many people I avoid looking at myself in the mirror, I do not let my husband see me naked, hate seeing photos of myself
Enough is enough Time to take control I worry people will judge me for doing this but it's about me not them. Also for the record you husband is supporting me with my decision but that he is happy with me just as I am
