Here we go....!
Jun 04, 2009
Being heavy my whole life is something I am used to. Not that I really liked it, but it was me. It was never a problem for me to be heavy. I was athletic, I was well liked by people, I love buying new clothes, always had a ton of friends, got married....my weight never really effected me. Until 2 years ago at an amusement park with my family. My daughter wanted me to go on a ride with her...yup, I didn't fit. I was mortified! This is what made me decide that being heavy wasn't in my "life plan" for me anymore. I didn't want to get diabetes, high blood pressure, and all the other junk that goes with being ...obese. I made the decision to have WLS about a year and a half ago. I knew this was going to be difficult. I just didn't realize HOW difficult. FOOD WAS MY BEST FRIEND!!! It was ALWAYS there to make me feel better. How could I ever end this relationship?? Well, my bff (food) and I broke it off on May 13, 2009. I really miss it. REALLY REALLY miss it. But it was not doing me any good. I had my lap RNY 5/13/09. This has been the toughest thing in the world I have EVER done! I used to be one of those that would say that surgery was the "easy way out". Whoa, was I WRONG!! Yeah, I'm not hungry right now, but man, this head hunger thing is a killer!! I am trying to take it a day at a time. I know I have made the right decision for myself and for my family. I know when we go to the same park this summer I WILL fit on the ride.
