Introduction Text I have been struggling with my weight loss for years. I was a skinny kid, and a pretty fit teenager. Everything went down hill pretty fast when I started having kids. I know a lot of people gain weight with pregnancy and have trouble taking it back off. I lost the weight after childbirth, then gained it back post-partum. I went up a couple sizes in between each pregnancy. At one point I was about 276 pounds! At that point I was considering weight loss surgery. A friend talked me into trying Hcg instead. I lost about 70 pounds and kept it off for a while, but when I stopped the hcg, the weight started coming back. I ended up gaining back about half of what was lost. Prior to that, I was successfully doing the Atkins diet. Again, I lost around 70 pounds. I stopped it when I found out I was pregnant again. I wish I hadn't. It was not a difficult diet for me to stick with. I was a single parent when I started it. I was solely responsible for meal planning and prep and it was easy to keep the high carb foods out of the house. Then I married a carb-oholic. It is sooo hard to have a low carb lifestyle when your spouse is eating chips ahoy in front of you every night and buys them in bulk so they are always around. I work, he doesn't so he is in charge of meal prep. Every meal every day has potatoes, pasta or rice as a main course. My husband is the biggest obstacle I have to losing weight. He also needs to lose weight, as his doctors keep telling him. He scoffs at that since he is slender everywhere except his belly. I wish I could get him to lose weight with me. Later this week I am going to talk to a bariatric surgeon about having the procedure done. I know I will still have to change my eating habits and get off my ass and get moving. I just wish I had more support at home.
