This is my story
I am 34, happily married and a mum of three lovely children, 2 girls 7 & 3 and a boy aged 2.
I am a farmers wife and I chose to be an 'at home' mum seven years ago when I had my first daughter. I lost most of the pregnancy weight the first time around and got into my size 12 jeans. (At the time I wanted to go back to being the perfect 10.... oh how I wish was a size 12 now!)
The birth of my second child coincided with us suffering to foot and mouth disease on the farm which was a very stressful time for all our extended family.
I developed post natal depression and my weight went up and up and up. At 11st 10 I went to slimming world and did quite well getting down to 10st. I didn't get help for the depression and I fell pregnant again (surprised!) when my 2nd baby was not quite one.
The birth of baby three was not a good one and ended in an emergency c section at 15days over my dates. The depression which temporarily lifted whilst pregnant came back with a vengeance. I got help this time and started to take prozac. Life got easier, I started going to college two nights a week and I joined weight watchers to try to lose my baby weight and rid myself of the 'overhang' caused by the C section. I failed!!!
I had been feeling better so I recently stopped the prozac but sadly they have been replaced by binge eating 'goodies'... Consequently in the last 8 wks I have gained lots of weight and am now my heaviest ever at aprox 12st 4. My whole body aches with the strain of carrying the extra weight and I hate the look of myself in the mirror. I am desperate to lose alot of weight and trully do not know how to start!!!
I do little excercise which does not help my situation and I cannot at the moment see how I am going to stop the goodies and treats especially when I PMT for two weeks of every four!!!
