My name is Billie and I'm 37 years old. I am living in a body however that makes me feel soo much older.
I was not an overweight child or teen. but at the age of 16 my body went through some kind of weird phase and I soon learned that I had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. With that, came weight gain like I couldn't believe, especially in my mid section and abdomen region. I tried to cope with it, but I guess the stress of not being able to loose this weight just "weighed" down on me.
I married the love of my life in 1991 and we have no children, because of the PCOS and the unhealthy life that I have. I have type 2 diabetes, hypertentsion, hypothyroidism, high lipids, sleep apnea, and some breathing problems. I can't even think about getting pregnant or having a baby with a record like this.
I've tried every diet in the book... EVERYONE!! I did Atkins, (lost 80lbs on that) but lets get real.....you can't keep up that way of life! I have done WW, lost 20 lbs both times I was on that, but couldn't lose anymore. I became frustrated and just gave up. It seemed no matter how much I walked or worked out... my weight stayed exactly the same or would go up.
I am now at 391 pounds and WL surgery is really my only option for getting back the life that I want. Sure I'm alive and breathing..... but I'm not living in this body. I'm just.... well...... I'm just ... Here.
My dreams are to lose this weight and be able to enjoy the time I have with the man I married 16 years ago. I want him to look at me and be proud to be my husband. don't get me wrong.... He loves me.... Like I am... but I don't love me. And I wan't so much to do so.
Well....this is my story as of right now. I'm hoping for that fairy tale ending ........
"and the princess lost the weight and kept it off. And her and her Prince are living a full life...happily ever after."
