I am 30 years old and I have been overweight/obese for as long as I can remember. I don’t have a “when I was skinny” time period. I will but as of now I don’t. I have a beautiful 9 month old son. This is MY year. My world was changed on 2/20/13 with the birth of my son and it will change again on 12/11/13 with the birth of a new me.
Going through this process I have been asked many times why WLS? Why not just work for it? This is a step I have long contemplated as both my parents have had WLS. I love working out I love it but just diet and exercise doesn't work for me now. I don't have 6 hours a day to work out and that's what it took to lose 70 pounds and get down to 315 only to skyrocket up to 454.
I am doing this for me. I am doing this to be a healthy role model for my son. He will never know an overweight, struggling Mommy.
