Hi,
My name is Lindsay. I reside in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. I have been overweight/obese my entire life and morbidly obese my entire adult life. I've tried many diets and fads and some weight would come off but the majority would go back on afterwards. My family was always trying to 'help' and motivate me while growing up. Whether it was getting a thigh master for Christmas when I was 8, offering me 2$ per pound I lost when I was a teenager or my personal favorite which came from my grandma was to chew the food for 5 bites to get the taste and then spit it out (I think that's how eating disorders are developed). I love my family dearly but none of them besides my dad have ever been more than 15 lbs overweight. My dad and I are very similar, we love our food, we love snacking and I believe we are both emotional eaters. I am currently going through a legal separation with my husband of 4 years after finding out about his infidelities.  I am at the point in my life where change is happening whether I like it or not and it's the perfect time to do a complete makeover inside and out. I need to grow confidence and lose the pounds. I am considering getting the VSG done, my parents know a few people who have had the surgery and it has changed their lives. I understand that surgery won't fix everything and I need to do a lot of reflecting with my head and heart but the surgery will be a good tool to help me understand boundaries with food which is something I need. I look forward to the journey I am about to embark on and hopefully meet some great friends on here.
