Well I am 32 years old and I started thinking about having wls years ago. I have been on lots of diets and every time I would tell myself that I was going to keep the weight off this time. This time never seemed to happen. I finally got the kick in the pants that I needed when my youngest brother was told that he had high blood pressure and that he needed to come in on a monthly basis for diabetes checks. I am the only child in my family that doesn't have major health problems but I was sure that they were on the way! I knew then I needed to make a permanent change. I am married to one of the greatest men that I know. He told me that if I wanted to have surgery that I needed to do it because I wanted it. I decided to have surgery and on 9-28-08 I did. I think this was the first time in my life that I did something just for me. This is a fight only I can win! It feels really good to be the one in charge instead of my fat telling me what I can and can't do!

just an update

Well I haven't updated this in a really long time/ i have lost 32 lbs. so far. My sister who did not have wls is a great inspiration. She has lost 35 lbs. and is looking an feeling great. I can let her know the things that are happening to me and she really understands. She is working so hard to keep the weight coming off that I feel that I need to try just as hard. She was not happy with me for doing the surgery but she has seen that I am so much happier now. My weight loss has finally gotten to the point where people are commenting on how great I look. It feels good to have people commenting that I look fantastic instead of oh I like that sweater or did you do something with your hair. I think those were just comments because they could not find anything else to say.The only thing that I did not expect was that my body would be changing for the worse in a few places. i think that I will need to have a bit of work done once I am where I want to be, Anyway these are a lot of things that are running through my head and I am sorry that the comments are going everywhere. It just feels good to get them all out.

I lost 2.2 lbs today. I feel better than I have in a long time about myself but I still can't seem to get the negative out of my brain! Why do I still feel like I am going to fail? I have never stuck with any diet very long if I did not see instant results, but knew it would take time to get the weight off even with the surgery.

Well I feel like a failure already. I have only lost 13 lbs. and I am 3 weeks old. I recovered well and thought that I was ahead of the game but it seems that I am not. Looking at other people I seem to not be losing very much! I wonder why? I am eating only what my doctor has told me to and I am drinking as much water as I can. I am exercising everyday. I lost 10 lbs. in the first week and have hit a wall already???????? What the heck did I do this for?
