I am 29. I have been seriously considering WLS since the birth of my second daughter. In the past when I had gained 50-60 pounds I could hit the gym and work it off. But this last time, my poor legs just gave out on me. I worked out one day. Then my knees swelled with fluid. That was the event that led me here.
I am thankful that this tool will help me on my journey back down to the one houndreds. I never want to come back to the two hundred club! I am looking forward to changing everything!. Because I have been planning on this for about six months now, I have had lots of time to research all of the pro's and con's. I am a little nervous, but the excitement outweighs my nerves!
I have two beautiful daughters. Anna is two and Victoria turns one the 16th of December!!
I am married to a wonderful man who doesn't care how much I weigh. He loves me for the person I am.
I am my worst enemy. I struggle with Mental Issues, since early 2000.
I went a-wall in 2005 from my treatment plan, I gained 80 pounds since 2006. I have been in counseling and groups for a year now. I have had several diagnoses and have yet to find the right medication.
During my journey I am mostly afraid of being to hard on myself. I do it all the time.... It is something that I have to remind myself not to do EVERYDAY. I have to literally give myself a pep talk everyday. It's sounds corny but it does help.
