Why I'm Fat

I really have no clue. I remember asking my my mom what age I was when I started to get fat. I guess it started when I was around 4. So I have been fat practically my entire life. I am not sure what the cause is. Both of my parents are overweight so maybe it is genetics. I was not abused or anything like that, I actually had a really good childhood. It always frustrated me because I could never think of a reason for me being overweight. Dr Phil says there has to be a reason. Why can't I come up with one?

My lowest adult weight is 185 which is still considered obese because I am a shorty at 5'1". I was about 19 when I was at this weight so I was kind of an adult. Since then I have yo-yoed. When I met my husband in 2005 I was 225 and I had just successfully lost 25 pounds. I continued to lose and I got down to 200. No matter what I did (or so it seemed) I could not get under 200. Over the years it has crept up on me and now I have gained all of the weight I lost plus an extra 10 pounds. 260 is a lot of weight on a 5'2" frame. Every time I get up from sitting my feet and ankles ache. I feel like an old lady.

Well, more to come shortly!
