Where to begin.........
I am 37 years old and have been overweight my entire adult life (since probably about the age of 16 actually). Last year I reached my top weight of 284 lbs. I have tried so many diet plans and so many medications and although they work for the immediate short term, I would reach a plateau, become discouraged and none of the results lasted. In fact, I gained back all the weight and then some each time.
I think I have reached the point where I know I will need surgical help. I say help because I know what to do to lose weight. I know I must control what I eat and exercise. Exercising is not the problem. I go to the gym three times a week and am progressively increasing the work load. But I need something that I will be able to keep seeing results for the longer term and stay motivated (if that makes sense).
I have several motivators for having the surgery and achieving this change in my life. I have slowly been adding them to this website. Bottom line reason though is so that I can be healthier and be on this earth longer.
