It's been FOREVER since I was on here last.....
on July 19, 2012 1:42 pm
It sure has been a crazy couple of years.... I went from 215 punds all the way down to 93 pounds. I went from one extreme to another. It will be my 3 year anniversary in September and let me tell u it has not been easy at all.. My weight is now 115 and I still can't say that I am happy with my body. I've maintained this weight for a good time now.. If you want to lose the weight to finally be happy with your body than u can go ahead and forget about even trying to lose the weight. Weighloss will not change your mental outlook. At least it didn't for me. I almost died from being obese and then almost died from being anorexic. Me and my husband are getting divorced. That was the best thing that has happened.... One day when I have a minute I will fill you in on EVERYTHING that I have experienced... Here is a couple of pics that I want to share..

Emotional HELL !!!
on August 4, 2011 7:37 am

I don't ever get on here anymore but, I figured I would today so I could update everyone on my weightloss journey. Next month will be 2 years since I decided to make the biggest descision of my life. I am not going to lie but, it has been hell when it comes to emotions. It has deffinently been an emotional rollercoaster. My highest weight was 215 pounds and my lowest weight was 92 pounds. I went from a size 26 in womens clothes to a size 12 in little girls clothes. I am currently at 110 pounds and a size 5. I am back to feeling fat and ugly again. When I try to put on clothes that once fit and are now way to tight I go through a real bad depression and turn to food for comfort and eat and eat until I am sick. When I wake up the next day and get on the scales and see that I have gained another pound from my binge eating episode it sends me back into a depression and I become so angry with myself and once again I turn to food. It is a viscious cycle. I had my addiction to food cured for about a year and a half but, these last 6 months I have turned to my food for comfort and have caught myself slipping back into my problem with food addiction. I can honestly say that "I am a food addict"...Everyone says I am at the perfect weight where I am now but, I don't feel good about my self and it don't matter what people think it's how you feel about yourself that matters, so, starting today I am going to get back down to my goal of 103 pounds. I felt great at 103 pounds and I was happy with that size. For all of you that are reading this "Don't try to be a size that is going to please others; be a size that is going to please you..." .. I have always tried to please everybody else and I just can't. I was eithor to fat and looked gross or I was to skinny and looked like a crack whore. Now I hear "Your at a good size just don't gain anymore weight" or I still get told "you can stand to put on a few more pounds". I really just feel like screaming !!!! I wish I had a support group but, all I have are people who tell me how they want me to look. No wonder I turned to food for comfort again.

Update: last week I was down to 93 pounds. This week I am up to 103. I'm very sad about gaining the weight but, I know I needed to gain a little. I'll write more about my journey another time....

I just got out of the hospital....
on May 4, 2010 8:43 am
I was admitted to the hospital sunday. They thought I had a blockage. I originally went due to dehydration from a stomach virus I got but, when they did the x-rays they saw alot of water and gas built up in my stomach. They ended up doing a cat scan and it showed the same. The gastric bypass doctor from that hospital said that he didn't think it was a blockage and wanted to keep me in the hospital till wednesday and do an upper endoscopy. I didn't want to stay till wednesday so I was released yesterday. My body is very weak right now. All I have done is sleep for 3 days. I'm scared that I am dieing. Everyone kept telling me that I was going to get sick and I didn't believe them. I guess I should've listened. It's weird that I can eat alot but, It hurts to drink. I just don't understand. I am so mentally exhausted.

My Story

Hey...my name is Kimber and I am 30 years old and have 3 kids. My daughter is 11, my son is 7, and I am adopting my nephew who is 1. Anyways, like most on the Obesity help site I have been overweight since 5th grade. I was teased and made fun of in the 6th grade. A couple of the kids would call me an umpaloompa (off of Charlie and the chocolate factory) because I was short and fat. I started having major self esteem isuees and and they have continued throughout my life. There has been a few times where I lost weight but, I could never keep it off. I felt amazing during those times. It was devistating to gain the weight back plus more. When I decided to have WLS I wasn't sure which surgery to have. I was wanting the lapband at first. After doing tons and tons of research I decided to go with the RNY. I feel I have made a wise choice. I have so many health problems and even my surgeon suggested I go with the RNY. I have one more appt with my weight management doctor on June 22nd then I will be done and on my way. After my appt they will send in for my insurance approval and get my date set up. HOORAY !!! My new life is so close I can taste it.
