I am starting this blog for one reason only. To document what I am hoping will be a life changing journey. I have been overweight most of my life. I say "most" because I was actually born a normal weight, 7 lbs/3 ounces. I guess contact with air was the trigger because when the doctor slapped me on the ass to induce breathing, I started crying not because of shock but because I was hungry. It was downhill from there.
I will be going back and forth through time (I have that power) as I describe the latest attempt to lose weight in a very long line of attempts. For example, my first brush with weight loss was at the ripe old age of 6. Both my parents have been overweight most of their adult lives and obese since the late 60's. So, my parents are going to Weight Watchers and because I was about 30 lbs overweight at 6 years old, they would drag me with them. Did I understand everything that was going on? Of course not! at 8 years old, my mom was bringing me to Overeaters Anonymous. This is a 12 step program for fat people. Their main tenet is a belief in a higher power. I'm 8. My higher power was Gigantor!

hmmm at least they tried something to help themselves and you. That just shows true family love but what do I know I have never really been fat or had really any body issues except when I got my first stretch marks. But I'm sure it's not the same, I've never ever really had to watch my diet but I am sure I will later so I will consider these as tips of life!
