My story,,,  I'm 53 (next week ) I'm at my all time  high weight ( 280 ) I have  had several heart attacks  the first being in  1999.  I have a 100% blocked  right  coronary artery from them  and now they cant unblock  it cause it has turned to concrete. LOL I'm a diabetic since 15 yrs old  on the pump which they  have said i may or may not get rid of after surgery,,I am having the lap band done ,I am sooo excited ,I just wish my  date would hurry up!! ( after a 4 yr fight because of health reasons)  I have  been over weight all my life, my mom called me a blimp and was always mad at me cause all i  could wear was "tents"Then some thing magical happened,,at 11 yrs  old i got my first "diet pill" Boy  I lost weight like crazy but  those diet pills lead to many  other drug addictions over many yrs ,, but for 20 yrs "diet pills was a  way of life. Funny thing is they (The pills or the doctors )  never taught me the healthy way to  eat ,, but they sure messed me up heath wise, and i guess at that point in my  life i didn't care much either what happened  as long as i  was  skinny ,, then i went thru rehab and   got clean ,, been clean since 1990. Well now with no crutch to help me not eat the pounds started packing on ,, and  hasn't stopped in  almost 20 yrs  ,I have lost 50 pounds soo many times i  should weight nothing ,, but i  gain back those 50 pounds plus 10,  I am soo ready to get a healthy tool  to learn to live again .  learn a healthy way of life and not be afraid of what people are saying about me behind my back,.especially my kids.But i want this more  for my self than any thing  in the world,,,I want to live more than 5  or 6 yrs ,, and be off 99% of medicines to live  a normal life !!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE  and ,,, if any one is interested I'm on  Facebook as Pamela Alexander
