About me.....
Jun 03, 2011
Hi everyone.
I am married with two kids...ages 15 and 10. Since I have gained so much weight I have pretty much alienated myself to just my kids and husband. I started refusing going out with friends because (of course) all my friends happen to be a size 2 and I'm the "fat " girl of the group. I have always been up and down with my weight fitting in clothes size 10-14, but the last two years I jumped to a 20 and thats sucking in!
So to start off with I'm like everyone else and have tried many, many times to lose the weight only to gain it back. I have done Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Atkins and a diet plan by a personal trainer. I'd always lose weight then as soon as I ate one thing bad in my head I would be like ...oh well I might as well eat everything I screwed up today and start fresh tomorrow...well tomorrow never came and I continued to eat horrible. So the final straw was when my daughters friend said how come my mom has a flat tummy and your mom's is hugeeeeeee. I know she didn't mean it hurtful and my daughter was so embarrassed. So the next day made my appt w/my PCP to go over options and she suggested surgery since I've been so up/down w/weight and I actually worked at her office for 10 years so she knows me personally too. So I did all my appt's and decided on Lap RNY and am 1 month out so far and 34pounds down. Hopefully I will continue seeing good results and keep my eating under control. This website has the best information and awesome people here:)
