Wow, I am exactly 1 week post op and my weight at surgery was 295 and today I am at 282lbs....Sweet!!!!!!!!!
(I do not feel sorry for myself....I have a new beginning in life....simply wanted to tell my story. My family always loved me no matter what....and I love them for that. When my dad visits us every year...he says to me....honey, I love you the way you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
My journey begins many years ago......since grade school. I was always teased about my weight...especially from grade 6 to high school. The remarks have always haunted me. I can remember walking down the hall at high school..."the seniors grade 12" said to me: Hey, are you so and so's sister? Proudly I replied back, "Well, yes I am". The outburst of laughter still echoe in my ears until this day. My sister whom also attended school w/ me was a petite very attractive woman...til this day. She was very sympathetic towards me....always loved and cared about me no matter what.
So here I was in grade 9, my mom whom always been on a "diet" all her life, came w/ me to Weight Watchers....didn't work. Being "large" during high school affected my grades....low self esteem and no confidence whats so ever.
Life went on, battling demons each day.......no boyfriends, no one ever asked me to a dance...unlike my older sister who used to be chased by guys...too funny. In grade 11, due to family difficulties (parents divorced). My mom and us girls moved to a different city. Great...new school...
Well sure enough the nightmare begins yet again....for the next 2 years....I went to school...had lunch at the library everyday so no one would see me...
As time went on at school, yes, made some friends....etc....I will continue to tell my story later...have some errands to run.....be back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
