Well, not really fat. I was born a healthy 7 pound something baby and maintained a "normal" weight throughout most of my childhood. I might have been larger than some of my friends, but I was still on the height-weight chart!
It wasn't until sometime during college that I began gaining weight and feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious about it. However it wasn't until 20 years later that I decided to do something about it. I joined Weight Watchers with my cousin in 2002 and lost 28 pounds in a year. Then I met my husband. And stopped going to meetings. And gained back all the weight plus about 10 pounds, just for the heck of it.
Fast forward another 6 years, to September 2009, when I joined Weight Watchers again. But this time was different. I had come to the realization that this was something I had to do for life! Forever! Amen! So I started with great gusto and promptly lost 25 pounds in about 6 months. And there I sit, not losing, but not gaining, which is a pretty cool accomplishment!
