My life
I was born on May 15th, 1990 by my mother GBowman189. No idea how big I was then, really up until I was in middle school I didn’t realize my weight had been such a problem. There I was 13 and already weighing about 260. I felt so ashamed of how I looked and I really never had any friends growing up and all through elementary school it didn’t bug me, I was a kid and didn’t notice. But when I got to middle school I was just walking down the hall and someone said eww, that simple moment right there had me hating myself. Then I gained some friends and some self love and love for everything around me and a need to change, teen acts of rebel you know what I mean, so I became a vegetarian. Also the next year I started high school and joined NJROTC, these are two of the best decisions I had ever made, by sophomore year I was back down to about 220 to 200. After that in my last year of high school I was back up to 220 to 230 with stress and bad eating habits.
Life didn’t get any easier with my weight after being a bum for 9 months and looking everywhere for a job. I finally got one and my first boyfriend ever in May of 2009 and life was going by so fast I even got promoted after only working there 2 months. Then after my first boyfriend I jumped right into the next and with that relationship, a job, and trying to keep up with chores at home I had no time for myself.
Thankfully I left my ex and started to look back to the basics and get to know myself after being in and out of 2 relationships for a year straight. I started to feel like it was time to better myself so I can find a better someone for me. So sense school was a bit out of the question at the time I decided to join a gym. I was going pretty religiously for about 3 months and I got down to 210. Until they changed my shift from closer to opener and I still tried for about a month or two but I was slacking. Then I just stopped all together always finding excuses or just being really tired from working all day and not getting enough sleep.
Now I’m pretty used to my shift and I’m still vegetarian and I have started eating better after seeing my mom and dad change it up, but I still need to head back to the gym. So it’s been about 3 months sense my gym rat days but sense I’ve been eating pretty well I have been able to keep from gaining weight.
So I bet you’re all asking why I joined this web page. Well both my mom and dad (GBowman189 and Mbowman189) are looking into getting WLS and I was really skeptical at first about the whole thing but then I got to learn more about it and this place really has shown me the results people can have. So I joined on here to kind of keep in the lope with how my parents are doing with their journey and I plan on keeping track of my own using all the nifty little tools.
Love to hear from you,
