Thoughts on 300+

Thoughts on 300+ I've been overweight since childhood. I've never been skinny, ever.    I was 202lbs at my grade 8 graduation.  I hit 237 in highschool before busting my butt and losing 40ish pounds.  Between highschool and Haiti I spent many years in the 210- 230 range. I got down to 185ish in 2008 after months and months of dieting, insane workouts and a bout with Malaria. (I gained the 10 Malaria pounds back pretty much immediately.) I was 217 when I went to Texas for trauma counselling after the 2010 earthquake and started antidepressants. I was 237 at my wedding in 2012. I was 250 when I got pregnant with Jubilee in 2014 and 283 when I weighed in for the first time a few months postpartum in February 2015. I was 250 when I got pregnant with Zander in 2018, and 293 the day he was born in March 2019.  In the 16 months since having Zander instead of losing the baby weight I have managed to GAIN 24 pounds. Yes, GAIN. Bringing me to my all-time highest weight to 317.  317 pound
