How'd They Get Like That?

I haven’t always been heavy. I’ve been steadily gaining weight for the past five years. I always thought when I saw really heavy people that I would never let that happen to me. I don’t know when the heck I really started tipping the scales and why I couldn’t just get it under control. Wanting that bag of cheetos or cream cheese toast just ONE more time seemed like it would be OK. I really believed an extra day wouldn’t make a difference. I had a whole new plan for every Monday. The pounds added up before I knew it. I used to like to work out but as the pounds slowly crept on it became more difficult. I huff and puff (which isn’t the worst thing) what is worse is that it hurts. My small frame really aches under the pressure of this weight. I’m not making excuses, I absolutely can exercise, but it is way more difficult. Once you get so heavy and are plagued with inactivity it becomes an effort just to keep from gaining weight not to mention losing it.

Needless to say...now I know how it happens.
