334 lb? No way!

Went to the doctor yesterday and stepped on the scale... 334 lb. :noway:

I knew I had put on a bit of weight over the winter but, Oh man... that's astronomical! Needless to say, I wasn't expecting that.

So yeah... here I am.

I'm a 34, artist/graphic designer from Southern Indiana. I love art. It's seriously, my life. I love paper and the color green and I am currently obsessed with taxidermy/macabre/curiosity shops. I dig piercings and tattoos, (current count 4 tattoos, 7 piercings [two of them @ 6g and two @ 10g]). I am Buddhist. I have 3 dogs and a cat and a wonderful hubby.

I've been chubby all my life. I've had self-image issues since puberty and at 25 I topped out at nearly 400lb (scales stopped registering my weight and I had to use a 'special' one at the doctor's office). I got down to 250 with the help of an amazing community but was derailed by love and a desk job. I met my husband in 2006 and started desk jockeying shortly there-after.

I've been slowly creeping up since.

My hubby isn't the best at motivational ata-boys. I think his exact words when I mentioned his lack of enthusiasm for the little bit of weight I lost the last time I tried was "I'm not your quit buddy." Blunt but honest.

So I guess I'm here for help, tips and support.

That's it in a nutshell. Thanks for reading!

Cheers!
