Stella55:
I've always been a bigger than "normal" woman at 5'11" and was chunky a kid. I was fairly thin in high school (156 -160 usually) and when I got married, I ended up eating a lot as I was with a military guy and by myself a lot. I ate when he was gone on a weekly basis and when I got up to 200 pounds, I loved the feeling of my big belly and butt. I liked how I looked but he did not. When I got pregnant it was an eating fest! I think I weighed 238 with the first kid and 245 with the second.
I still weigh about 217 and I will be heading to the land of food, Louisiana for 7 months. I hope to eat my way into another 15 or 20 pounds!
Take care of my home state while you’re there :-)
