Well, I am 44 years old and been fat for 43 years. Like all of you I tried Weight Watchers, the 1500 calorie diet, the 1200 calorie diet
the 1000 calorie diet, the honey and vinegar diet, the diet pill diet. (you know the one, we you eat nothing but diet pills until you are full?) I did not want to admit that I was getting fatter and fatter with each and every try. I probably gained and lost the same 60lbs ten times at least. Finally I was in my 40's and at 275lbs. How the hell did I get there?????? One gal at work had the lab band and did ok and then 2 more had it done and I thought what the heck? I might as well try this too right. I had surgery on 8-4-06 and have to date lost 110lbs. OMG. I never thought I would loose this amount of weight. My Dr could not be happier and says I have lost what alot of gastric bypass people loose in the first year.
It has taken me a long time to admit that I am proud of myself because I was just sure I would put it back on. I always have, why not this time too right? But I am finally allowing myself to admit I have done one heck of a good job, I look pretty hot at 165 and 44 years old and the love of my life, who God love him, love me fat and not thinks I look great.
