Well lets see..my story starts probably where alot of womens do and thats with getting pregnant with my son. I was around 145lbs when I found out I was pregnant and had never really gave exercise and watching what I eat much of a thought at that point. But as my pregnancy went on the bigger I got, until I had gained 50lbs by the time I gave birth. From then on it was nothing but gaining. Sure I tried diets and pills and fad drinks and you name it I tried it. Some weight would come off but then would come back on double and triple that! For a while I stayed at 190, not losing or gaining..just stuck - and no matter what I did I just couldnt get any results! At times I would just give in and think that maybe I was just meant to be overweight the rest of my life..maybe this was who I was. But deep inside I knew different..deep inside was the real me aching to get out. It seems like once I hit 30yrs old that I started gaining again like a madman..200 came..I cried..205, 210, 215..oh gosh what was going on. Over the years they have constantly checked my thyroids and everything else but nothing to report. Back aches, knee aches, feet aches..oh you name it , it aches. I hate not being able to do the things I used to..every time I eat I feel like I am just expanding more and more. It was then that my best friend, who had not long ago had Gastric bypass herself, talked to me about it. I knew this was my sign, my chance at the life I really deserve and need. For the sake of my health and for a chance to be around alot longer with my family & friends. And so my journey begins....
