45 years old. Ugh, 45. 45 seems so old to me. I have two girls. One is 19 (11/30/97) and the other is 25 (8/30/92). I've been married to my husband since Oct 2007 but together since 2003. Grew up with 3 generations surrounding me. Great-grandma, Grandma, and mom. Grandma and mom were ALWAYS on a diet! Neither were morbidly obese...just a little overweight at times. Made me very self conscience of my body. I was an athlete and a performer. I had the metabolism of a hummingbird. I could eat a whole Dominos pizza and not gain an ounce! (which I did on several occasions!) Got married young (20) and immediately had my first child. Blew up to about 190#. Settled back to about 170# which put me about 20# overweight. After my second child, blew up to 210#. Weight fluctuated over the past 19 years. In the past 8 years, I haven't been able to get below 200#. Hypertension, hypothyroidism, and depression followed. Currently at #265. Hell bent on being healthy and ME again!
Starting the process for VSG. Had my initial appointment and begin my 6 months of physician supervised diet and psyh. CANNOT WAIT!
