Christine S.
Hmm, ok well Here it goes. I am 41, divorced mother of 2 incredible sons. My oldest son is 15 and my younger son is 11, they are what keeps me going everyday.
I have been thin most of my life, until the last 6 years. I am on meds for depression and panic disorder and several years back my meds had to be changed. Well my weight gain is my prize for the med change. It is very strange but certain meds I take make me crave carbs at night. Well, as we all know eating late at night isn't so good. There are times I wake up in the middle of the night and will fall asleep with food on my lap, and wake up wondering what I have done.
I dont even remember that I got up to eat something. I question myself in the morning wondering if I really did it, or dreamed it. Since my weight has gotten to 225 lbs. I have become increasingly secluded, I really dont have any friends and I dont socialize, unless I need to with my children. You know it's funny, people say, Oh, Christine, you're so pretty though. But, it means nothing, because I dont feel pretty on the inside. Hopefully I will find all the information I need and make a decision to change my life. I have found my information, after many late nights reading, and reading, more reasearch, I have decided to have the RNY done. I am most happy with my decision.
