Weight has been a constant struggle my whole life. I've experienced unhealthy habits on both ends of the spectrum. In my youth (12-22 yrs old), I experienced bouts of anorexia and bulimia and was a compulsive exerciser.
My weight gain was gradual at first. 10-15 pounds with the birth control pill. Another 10 when I started eating a 2nd dinner with my now husband and his mother late in the evening. Then came the decrease in physical activity and an increase in stress as the demands of work and nursing school took over. By the time I hit the unit as a night shift nurse in 2006, I was 40+ lbs more than when I first met my husband in 2000. Then came my first pregnancy, then the 2nd, and finally my 3rd, and I am now nearly 100 lbs more than when I met my husband. I am finished having kids and health issues are starting to creep in. I loathe myself when I look in the mirror. I am ashamed and refuse to be nude even in front of my husband. It is time to do something for myself! Sleeve surgery is scheduled Oct 12th!!!
