WHEN MY DAUGTHER WAS 5MONTHS I WENT ON THE PHENTERMINE AND WATER PILL DIET..LOST MY BABY WEIGHT AND MORE..I MAINTAINED THAT WL 4 A WHILE ...A COUPLA YEARS LATER GAINED SOME BACK WHICH WAS ALRIGHT WITH ME BECAUSE I GOT TOO SMALL FOR MY LIKING..I GOT A DIVORCE...MOVED FROM ONE COAST TO THE NEXT...I HAVE ALWAYS BATTLED DEPRESSION ALL OF MY LIFE...AFTER THINKING LONG AND HARD I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT...WENT TO MY PCP..SHE PUT ME ON ZOLOFT...I KID U NOT...I GAINED 63 POUNDS IN 3MONTHS..SO OF COURSE THAT ONLY ADDED TO MY DEPRESSION...IF ANYONE IS LISTENING OUT THERE DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT LET UR DOC GIVE U Z.O.L.O.F.T! IT'S THE NUMBER1 ALONG WITH PROXAC ANTI-DEPRSS. DRUG THAT WILL BLOW U UP! AND WITH THE QUICKNESS...IT HAPPEN SO FAST I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE!

IT'S BEEN ..OOO..I GUESS FIVE YEARS AND COUNTING SINCE I HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN DECLARED OBESE..GOSH! THAT IS SUCH AN UGLY WORD..ISN'T IT.. I CANT TAKE IT ANY MORE...MY BODY CAN'T TAKE IT..MY PROFESSION REQUIRES ME TO BE ON MY FEET ALL DAY LONG..MY KNEES ARE CATCHING PURE HELL...THE WEIGHT CAME ON SO FAST AND I KNOW MY BODY IS TRYING TO REJECT IT BECAUSE MY ACHES TELL ME SO..I GET OUT OF BREATH SO FAST..IT'S CRAZY..DIABETIES RUNS IN MY FAMILY..AND I DON'T WANT TO GET THAT...

I WENT TO MY LONG-TIME PCP AND SAID "L.O.O.K AT ME!" TOLD HER WHAT I WANTED...WLS..SHE SAID....OK! LONG AS YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A CURE AND THAT I'D STILL HAVE TO DO THE WORKTO LOSE AND MAINTAIN..I SAID I UNDERSTOOD...SHE SAID SHE'D WRITE ME A REFERRAL...WITH IN FOUR DAYS I HAD AN APPROVAL LETTER IN THE MAIL....I GOT LUCKY IN THAT RESPECT! SHE IS THE BOMB...I HAVE ALWAYS HATED GOING TO THE DOCTOR UNTIL I FOUND HER...I LOVE MY PCP..SHE IS ALWAYS ON TOP OF ANYTHING I NEED OR ASK HER TO DO! 

I HAD A BREAST REDUCTION A FEW YEARS AGO..I SHOULD HAVE WAITED TIL I LOST WEIGHT..OH WELL!...CAN'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK...SO, NOW I HAVE BEEN PRAYING I DON'T HAVE TO GET IMPLANTS...TIME WILL TELL..IM KINDA SCARED OF THOSE THINGS BEING IN MY BODY...
