I am 50, great kid, great boyfriend, job would be better if I was. Lots of love and support. I was 15 when I went on my first diet with my Mum - the Rice Diet. I was 5'5" and 150 lbs. My B-n-law said I was pretty I just needed to lose 25 lbs. So all my life I thought I needed to be 125 lbs. I met my first husband at 18 and gained 100 lbs with him in 10 years. I tried WW and Jenny Craig - took some weight off and then gained it back. I had a miscarriage, my marriage failed. I didn't care that I was overweight. I was successful in business. I am a social person I met men and had great times. I met my second husband who was in great shape. For our 6 month anniversary he asked me to take the afternoon off he was going to take me somewhere, I honestly thought he was going to buy me a ring but he took me to meet a plastic surgeon for liposuction. I was devistated. But it didn't stop me from eating and staying with that louse for 6 years. I was in OA and then FA and I lost 93lbs. in 7 months - found my answer - no flour, no sugar, weighed and measured meals with nothing in between. It was simple but hard. Call a sponsor in the morning - give them your meal plan for the day. Make three calls a day "it's not what you are eating but what is eating you" go to three meetings a week AND fellowship to be of service. Got to be hard after I had my daughter so I stopped and put it all back on. My current live in boyfriend loves me a lot just wants me to be healthy and is very supportive. I want the cycle to be over to be at peace with myself and my food. I think it is time to give up alcohol too. It doesn't agree with me. I think taking a year off at least will be good for me. This is where the fear comes in - what if I mess this up too? I have physically altered my body and put my family, friends and employer through a lot - surely I can't fail right??? I gotta do this. I was mad when I qualified but here I am, Surgery is Aug. 1, 2017 here we go
