I have struggled with weight all of my life. I was always told that I was BIG and really wasn't. As a teen I weighed around 160 and I am 5'8 so it was proportioned. I have since gained 105 pounds and it started after having kids. Well you can imagine that if I started dieting back then and had poor body image what this turned into. I had low self esteem and tried to accept the weight but it just made me more miserable as I continued to gain weight. I wanted surgery before but was told that my BMI was not high enough. Well I finally was blessed with the opportunity to have lapband surgery and hope that the knee pain, exhaustion, poor health, and self esteem will improve. I am tired of fad diets and magic pills and potions that eventually pack more pounds on you after you lose and regain them again!!!! I am tired of my thighs rubbing together until they are chafed! I am tired of pulling the seatbelt to the end praying it fits so that I don't need an extension! I am tired of spilling over into the next seat on a plane or in a movie theater or concert stadium! I am tired of not being able to talk after climbing a flight of stairs!! I could go on and on!! I'm just tired of being tired!!
