Paula C.
I am 44 years old and have been married for 24 years. My husband and I have a wonderful daughter who is 10 years old.
I have been overweight mostly my whole adult life. I'm not sure how I got overweight, but the pounds just kept creeping on and before I knew it I was over 200 lbs. When my weight reached 230 lbs. I joined Weight Watchers with my friend Lori and we were both successful. I lost 50 lbs. Then I took a new job and moved 20 miles away and we both tried but it just didn't work. Eventually I started to put the weight back on and this time not only gained back the 50 I had lost but gained 50 lbs. more. I went back to Weight Watchers numerous times without success, I've tried a number of other diets from Atkin's to South Beach to just not eating. Nothing has worked.
I decided to have WLS because I have a hard time now doing a number of things. I am very limited on what I can and can't do and I feel I'm not a very good role model for my daughter. And by having WLS, I can get my life back on track and be successful again.
