I have been overweight since I had my son 18 years ago. I had gestational diabetes with my pregnancy and had a really difficult
time losing the 35# I had gained with my pregnancy. I had my daughter 2 years later and weighed just over 200# when I had her and pretty much stayed between 185-200# until I started college in 1993 and later started dating my husband in 1994. For my wedding in 1996 I weighed 225#. For the first few years of our marriage with adjustment to married life and a bad depression over trying to conceive a baby I would go between 220-240#. My youngest son was born in 1998 and since then my weight has climbed as high as 266#. Here is the list over these years of diets I've tried- low carb, low fat, cabbage soup, LA weight loss, weight watchers, Atkins, south beach, coconut diet, Curves diet I have literally lost and regained the same 30# over and over countless
times but I have not been under 200# since 1995. I have healed my life in countless other ways but have yet to complete my journey and that is to remove the insulation on the outside of my body that is holding me back. I used to be quite physically fit in high school
I played field hockey, basketball, I was a cheerleader, and I played softball I was able to jog several miles without difficulty. I would love to be able to jog without being short of breath. That is one of my goals -physical fitness. My hope is to get WLS and be 145# again and be healthy without elevated bloodsugar and without sleep apnea and chronic edema.
