My weight problem began after I had my second child, my son at the age of 29.  I went from 175 pounds to a whopping 230. I thought once I had him my weight would go back down the same as when I had my daughter. However I did manage to stay right around 230 through 250 for eleven years and then all at once I began to swell. My body would swell so big I could hardly get around. They pumped me full of fluid pills and pain pills. After that it all became a blur as to how I spiraled out of control with the weight thing. I just know that I want my life back,  To be able to do the things I used to do.  To be able to walk (which by the way I loved doing)until it became hard to breathe or the pain from the total body was just to much.  Well on my first visit to the doctor, I found out I had lost 39 pounds, That was like a VICTORY to me.. I can't tell you when I had lost that much weight except in fluids.
