The day that I have dreaded and was scared to think about has come. The day I have decided and accepted that surgery is the answer for me. I am 33 years old and currently weigh the highest I have ever been. As I have gotten older, my health is getting worse. I have always been plus, but seem to have accepted it. I have always had confidence in myself, dress nice and always thought, "yes Im big but cute". Well that sad thinking and not facing reality had me weighing 185 lbs when I was a freshman in college to 280 lbs today. I was blind to the fact that the weight was increasing. I would blame the size 18 to 22 on the way the clothes are being made today. yes, I have tried many of fad diets, but not much of a change.
I had notice that as the years went by, I could not touch my toes. I would feel like Im about to die just from exercising. I would walk up a flight of steps and could not breath. My stomach has turned into 2. I was told about my snoring, which also turned into waking up with headaches. I was borderline everything, from high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetics. And to top all that off, tired all the time. After being diagnosed with sleep apnea, my knees bothering me and all the other fears, I had along talk with my family, my Dr. and prayed about it.
I have accepted that I need help.
