Ht. 5'5", Start: 136 lb, Today: 178 lb, Goal: 136 lb - I feel so ashamed of myself! I've always been in pretty good health. 5 foot 5, around 130 or 140 pounds. Well at the beginning of the school year I was chosen to go live with a family in Germany. I was so happy! When I left I weighed 136 pounds, which is pretty much average. Well while I was there I figured I could let myself go a bit. Wow they have some great stuff there. Tons of chocolate, very good. I really didn't think I had changed much, having bought clothes there and stuff like that. Well when I got back (2 weeks ago) my friends were like, wow. And I really didn't get what was wrong and why people acted different. Then I decided to wear one of my old favorite outfits. These really cute jeans and a green T with glitter all over. Guess what. The jeans came no where near fitting me. I now saw how huge my stomach had gotten and how small my cloths suddenly were. I went and weighed myself....oh my god. 178. I had gained over 40 pounds! I had only been gone for a little bit over 3 months! I was so shocked. The next day at school we were weighed and measured for gym and the nurse was just like, oh my. Probably seeing my old weights compared to me now. I feel so ashamed! I really want to get back to my old weight! Help!
