I've had trouble with the whole weight thing since I was little. My endo had me see a dietician once who actually had the nerve to suggest that I used food as a weapon to get back at my parents. She didn't seem to care that both my sister and my mom were overweight too. Plus it doesn't help that we're German, so any family gathering requires large quantities of food. Anyway, about seven months ago I decided that enough was enough and went on a diet. I took a kickboxing class last year, and despite how hard I worked I didn't lose a single pound. I learned this year that the only way that I lose weight is to just not eat as much, which is very difficult for me, physically and psychologically. I've lost 15-17 lbs or so and am trying for another 15 (I hope). I actually eat very little, especially in comparison to a lot of my friends. I have to be very careful. It makes me mad sometimes, but I don't have much choice other than to just deal with it.
